Relationships in 2024 from the point of view of single 28 year old heterosexual female.

We, as humans, are biologically wired to seek out interpersonal relationships and connections.

Years ago, we demonstrated this in public as our social selves in the spotlight.

Individuals meeting out in situations where you interact, note attraction, and degree of interest all before your conscious mind has become aware you’ve done so.

With the rise of technology and social media, we have significantly changed how we speak to each other and interact with each other.

Then, the anticlimactic apocalypse hit in March 2020, and our already declining social norms were obscured once again.

Now, I see people struggling to connect, struggling to express themselves, and in turn becoming more isolated. What will come of relationships of the future?

People are seeking something outside of themselves but become ashamed to express their true spirit in fear of rejection or belittlement.

Something has to change or differ so we can connect again in a true manner. When real communication and honesty are emphasised, I believe we can once again connect to another person wholeheartedly.

Do you believe we can connect as a social society again? Or has the norm changed so much that this is how we accept life now?

Can we still connect even without physical interaction between individuals? Or has the distance created by social media allowed us to become aloof?
