I love being in my cozier pajamas on my Helix mattress.

You know I talk about it.

I love being a homebody and just hanging out with my animals and my husband.

And I will admit that sometimes when I get a last minute cancellation text, I giggle with glee.

Like it is the best news I have gotten all day long.

But guys, even though I do that, like this is not how we build a healthy, thriving, fruitful society.

Because for a lot of people, this now is not just a funny meme or a side thing they do on Friday nights.

This drives how they view socialization.

It is an inconvenience.

It is awkward, maybe challenging for people.

It actually forces you to get off your ass and do things rather than just opening Instagram DMs.

Like again, I will admit,

Often, the most interaction I have with my friends is us just sending videos back and forth.

Like, that's all we do.

Amir and I spend more time DMing each other than we do seeing each other in person.

That's a problem, Amir.

I'll see you tomorrow at my house.

Anyway, the point is, after years of these attitudes and this digital-centric relationship building, we now have a generation, our generation primarily, that barely knows how to speak to each other.

Another person on Reddit, which obviously is another digital alternative, so it's ironic that I'm using this comment, but this person made a great point, and he said this.

There is a general sense of inhospitality.
