I’m 22 years old, not in a relationship and I don’t have any kids yet so I’m just asking out of curiosity.

    its hard to say how much of the issues i experience today is really because of modern tech

    i got into gaming at a very young age, and i spent most of my time just by myself playing singleplayer stuff as opposed to going out with the other kids. im not sure whether that was really a result of getting into pc gaming though, as i wasnt all that social even before that and had trouble making friends

    not getting a phone until high school added to the issue because the other kids would be talking about things i flat out didnt know about, leading to further isolation

    nowadays i just dont really make friends in person, all of my friendships and the like are online and based on common interests in video games and such

    i dont know whether spending too much time on devices is to blame for that, or whether spending too much time on devices allowed me to find friends and people i care about regardless of the trouble i have engaging with people in person
