Being Around Others

Being Around



I in many occasions feel like the best way to be in society, at least the current one and its technologies, is to be "in", but not "around". Like, enjoying it, but without being constantly immersed into the hivemind. In analogies, like a mix of spectator mode and survival mode in Minecraft, idk. By that I mean that, it feels like I lose my sense of self when using too much social media or when listening too much to others. Like being inside a hivemind, I mean. Slow down. Maybe we gotta slow down and chill.
