We often feel lonely, but we are afraid of being bound by intimate relationships.

"We often feel lonely, but we are afraid of being bound by intimate relationships. Digital social relations only create an illusion for us: we have company, but we don't have to pay friendship. "

-Shirley Turkel, "Group Loneliness"

A few days ago, I went to the space to find something and looked through my own Q.Q. space to talk. /kloc-more than 0/400 conversations, saying that my life is less than 400 times, and the rest are "funny or routine" conversations forwarded by others. Every day for more than two years.

In order to increase the number of likes, I added some mutual praise groups and some strangers who praised each other. When the popularity is the highest, the average number of likes is 150.

At that time, someone commented under the space, "How wonderful tomorrow will be without you." At that time, they always felt that they had many friends, as if they were accompanied by a group of friends every day.

Later, I was busy for a while, and then I made a few comments, but each comment only had 20 likes, and then I didn't make any comments.

Later I learned that I am not very popular, and those who are still praising me are my true friends.

"In the online world, we are connected to each other and can be invisible to each other."

Friendship is mutual, and "digital socialization" makes many people lose themselves. Looking at people who are praised by many people, there are not necessarily many friends; People who are not liked dynamically may not have no friends.

"Digital socialization" satisfies the loneliness of the lonely, magnifies the vanity of the practitioners and makes the rare friendship more valuable.
