    I could also present my anecdotes of every gay dude I know having a shaky circle of friends with too much unnecessary drama involved but I don’t cuz I realize it has nothing to do with it.

    When was the last time you comforted someone you don't wanna sleep with?

    This part triggered a lot of you niggas it seems

    Some people say they can’t connect with people, is that really true or do they just put themselves down and think that they are soooo different from everyone else? Or do they have an extreme ego to believe everyone is just not at their wit?

    @Wisdom also right. This is definitely true for majority of yall niggas in the life sxn that do that tired “no one understands me so ima turn this sxn into my oversharing diary but push back once anyone questions me” gimmick.

    and relationships have become increasingly superficial and commodified. why would a person who experiences these things feel comfortable sharing with others?

    They have @Tkken ? Last I checked we lived in a great big world with endless opportunities for growth snd change IRL and OL.

    But lemme guess, because of statistics in the insert source prove that relationships and friendships have blah blah blah. That’s another thing niggas (not even just ktt, I see this on twitter and IG) like to do. Yall take the worst scenario you see/hear and internalize that and generalize that whole group of people with these self-defeatist echo chambers of self loathing and superiority complex instead of trying to be the change yall wanna see.

    KTT could do regional meetups right now. I know at least 3 ppl on here’s IGs (and vice versa)

    I know at least…6 ppl that I would not mind meeting up with and kicking it with or just voice chattin on the phone/computer with. Why do we hesitate? (Safety reasons is understandable, the average of this forum is at least mid 20s, I’d make an educated guess).

    From the article:

    The COVID-19 pandemic is the most obvious culprit in the national friendship decline, but broader structural forces may be playing a more important role. First, Americans are marrying later than ever and are more geographically mobile than in the past—two trends that are strongly associated with increasing rates of self-reported social isolation and feelings of loneliness.1 Second, American parents are spending twice as much time with their children compared to previous generations, crowding out other types of relationships, including friendships.2 Finally, Americans are working longer hours and traveling more for work, which may come at the cost of maintaining and developing friendships.3 In fact, perhaps reflecting its central place in the hierarchy of American social life, Americans are now more likely to make friends at work than any other way—including at school, in their neighborhood, at their place of worship, or even through existing friends.

    That's just capitalism at work baybee

    In relation to the screenshot above, American men aren't the most progressive or open when it comes to showing emotions to other people (the basis of friendships) without it being deemed "gay" or "feminine" (even tho every human has masc and fem traits lolwut?)

    It's one of those common things when people say "the patriarchy hurts everybody" since as men the closest we have to male circles and male group chats we just talk about the most surface level of s*** like sports and girls and music and...that's it.

    If you feel depressed, just hold that s*** in.
    If you feel angry, fight cause discussing it makes you a p****.

    Looks like decades of hammering in a hyper masculine/independent image of the "Alpha male" (which doesn't exist) has backfired and now has left a bunch of American men isolated with no one to confide in cause....nigga leave that s*** in until it explodes and affect the people you love.

    Can't relate personally. All me and my niggas talk about is life and handling emotions within this complicated ass world of highs and lows.....and the b****es.

    You’re implicating straight cis men in your first paragraph bro 😂
