Few people in our capitalist " Culture of Narcissism " really SEE other people [ A QUORA comment ]

Icon for Trauma and The Brain🧠 Trauma and The Brain🧠 · Follow Answered by Mike Lawrence Sep 9 Why is it that so many people silently struggle with loneliness, depression, anxiety, or even feeling abandoned, yet rarely talk about it openly? Is it because of stigma, fear of being misunderstood, or something deeper that we don’t fully recognize? I blame the way we now seem to be required to meet. In person, people don't see each other; half have on their earbuds, heads facing down, looking at their phones. I mean, my son, for instance, you'd swear his phone is stuck to his hand; he can't even eat without "Snapping" or watching the latest viral video. Everyone places a role online, hoping to be adored by all, but behind closed doors, things are simply horrible. I think when we stop acting like scabs, afraid to bump into each other, things won't change much. 536 views View 18 upvotes View 1 shareSubmission accepted by Chantell Keller-Anderson 1 of 5 answers Profile photo for Ron Ruggieri Enter URL Footnote Profile photo for Ron Ruggieri Ron Ruggieri · Just now With or without those dehumanizing cell phones and eye phones ,few people in this capitalist “ Culture of Narcissism “ , hopelessly “ atomized “ ( a useful term in sociology ) really SEE other people .
