"People don't chat anymore" - Possible answers within

Even just talking DMs as chatting, there's plenty of reason for it to be diminishing. Fact is, a lot of it is not worth engaging with.

To chat assumes the parties to it actually have something to say and theres at least a little comonality. You're correct; much of it is not worth the effort when you DO find it.

one of the biggest reason i think is that most folks are not willing to take the time any more, they too busy scrolling thru social media to have patience for anything else
i see it daily, we all see it
walk in to the store and how many you see walking across the parking lot scrolling thru their phones or texting
how much of that is truly important, that can't wait till your not walking into the store or out of it or while shopping
bet 99% of it is shit that can wait till your at home

I don't honestly want to meet anyone on this forum. I like to be solitary.
