Outside my marriage and family, I don't have any local meatspace friends I could consider close at all.<br /><br />This bothers me, and I'm not sure why. Is it because I'm too picky about people and the internets offers a bigger selection? Is it because digital interaction itself is a pleasant filter that makes fake interaction easier than authentic meatspace relations? Can I only deal with people if I retain the option to turn communication off when I wish? Am I broken in the head or do I just overthink things?<br /><br />But it bugs me and it bugs me that I don't know why it bugs me.
