It’s very distressing. And it’s not just kids and young people who can’t seem to break the hold screens have over multitudes of us. Everywhere, all the time when I’m out in public, I see people with their faces buried in their phones. Walking from the car to some other place, sitting and eating out at a restaurant, at parties, waiting for the kids in the school pick up lines. We’ve stopped looking at one another ( the whole COVID clown show certainly exacerbated this as well), having conversations and engaging in random conversations with strangers. Social isolation on many fronts is clearly one of the strategies being used against us.
I can't say much. I spend tooooo many hours a day reading Substack articles and comments. I don't have anyone to talk to. I don't use my phone much away from home. When I do, I'm usually waiting alone in my car to meet a friend for lunch and I play solitaire. 😏

I’m on substack frequently some weeks too. No judgment here!
