Am I social? Who knows. I certainly used to be. 

Having lived through the era before social media, I remember what "social" really meant back then. I had many friends, I was out almost every night, and I spent hours on the phone. Now? It’s not even close. But I think I’m just at a different age now, with different needs and obligations.

Friendship requires time. You can’t expect someone to be there for you if you don't invest the time to maintain the bond. In a way, social media is a relief; you can see a story or chat briefly and feel like you’ve caught up. It makes the loneliness disappear for a moment.
