Night ideas by zikou
Hey everyone, I wanted to share a little thought that crossed my mind. I'd love to hear what you think about it.
It seems to me that human relationships built mainly on serving mutual interests often end when those interests fade. This is something we see a lot nowadays, especially with the rise of digital services that are fast and remote. This shift is actually changing human nature itself. Over time, the very concept of genuine emotion is diminishing day by day. We're reaching a point where we're losing our sense of empathy for others, and even for ourselves. Terms like feelings, emotion, and love are starting to feel foreign, and we struggle to explain them.
From all of this, I believe that a person needs to put in real effort in order to truly feel and awaken their emotions. Whether it's through the bitterness of loss or the sweetness of achievement, these experiences make us empathize with others who are also striving. Understanding their circumstances deeply stirs our own emotions and makes us feel a need for connection and solidarity with them.
So, in a way, the evolution of human life has taken a reverse course in terms of genuine connection. The logical ways of relating and communicating that once felt natural now feel strange.
In short, despite the world's incredible technological progress and the speeding up of services, humans have become more isolated and less inclined to connect. This has negatively impacted our psychological state, making us more withdrawn to the point of even losing touch with our own feelings.

I agree.
Online interactions can be great but also hard to read fully, as we don't see people's reactions or body language.
It can be all too easy to lie, love bomb, say what people think we want to hear.
True intimacy for me lies in getting to know someone on a deeper level.
Respecting their boundaries.
Not forcing your opinions on them but being comfortable with differences.
Not rushing into a sexual connection, before one really knows and cares for the other person.
Being honest.
Respectful.
Kind 💖
All that you have mentioned is true, but unfortunately, in the age of speed, emotions have also become fast and not deep—if we can even call them emotions.
There is a saying that goes: "Out of sight, out of mind."
This means that true proximity is what generates social connection and establishes what is called emotions in their correct sense.
Best regards, Amanda

I prefer upfront in person connections and real presence 💖

Yes, this is what enhances and strengthens feelings, and develops social cohesion.

@Zikou
Exactly 🥰
And makes sure we don't treat people's emotions like a commodity!
