I hate modern hookup culture and dating apps. I feel like its commodifying human relations, completely reducing them to a transaction and devaluing them to the point, where finding a lasting relationship or love is a major pain in the ass and leads to major alienation, avoidant attachment and a bunch of shit like that.

Was going to say this, but didn't know how to word it. "Friendships" are the same way. Because you're not friends with anyone, they're just in your "network."
I don't like that people don't know how to be alone, and that includes not responding to a text or notification immediately. The expectations people have for availability are unreal and exhausting.
I feel like a fucking weirdo for feeling this way. I was born and raised in the NYC metro area and after I hit 30 I just want to be left alone for the most part. I still like to see my friends and family a lot, but fuck texting. It's like I'm reverting to a time before cell phones. I'd much rather someone come over for dinner and drinks once a month than mindless bullshit every day.
