I am sick of people who can't stop using their smartphone long enough to have a conversation in real life (~90% of smartphone users). I will have guests over, and every single one of them will be in their smartphone texting other people who aren't there, or watching youtube videos, movies, or TV shows, each watching different shit on their phones, rather than talking to each other. They won't even watch anything together on a TV because they're so used to only watching exactly what they feel like watching at exactly that moment, that they can't agree on anything to watch together. They're so busy with themselves that I wonder why they even leave their homes; it's like they're just trying to spend a certain amount of time at other people's houses just so they can say they have friends and don't spend all their time at home, without actually having to have friends. Even if I, another friend, or their own family is trying to talk to them about something important and heartfelt, they're too busy ignoring everything in real life because they're in their phones. They can't put their phones in their pockets for a few fucking minutes to talk to real people in real life.
And then I'm the "antisocial" one because I don't have a smartphone and text like everyone else? Bullshit, they're all too antisocial to even talk to people; I'm the last "social" person left.
I almost want to move to a third-world country just so I can make friends with people who are too poor to afford a smartphone. At least then I could have a real conversation. But then I'd have to deal with third-world problems, which I hear are much worse than first-world problems.
