Tech time outs leave me feeling as if social media is not Community but media just media and I sometimes find it more destructive than constructive these days. Sick of people hurting each other sick of people hurting me sick of me hurting others just sick.

I've been disappointed many times in my life when I mistook interactions for real connections.

Did your own correlation between interaction and connection happen first IRL, online, and where is it most found for you, I wonder?

Honestly I think it's a human problem. I've experienced it both online and offline. The thing is online a lot of people benefit from appearing to be friends or to share ideals so that they can push their brand. I don't have it in me to be fake and play those kinds of games.
