Are we getting worse at talking to each other?

Look mucker, I know what it is like battling Autism. I have been battling it since the 1980’s, it is a brutal thing to live with and it is so hard as an adult to be diagnosed with it now in your 40s. I am here for you mate, both with advice for Autism, Mental Health and DWP. I worked as a Support Worker for 8 years which gives me a unique perspective seeing it from the person battling mental health. It also as someone who cared for people with mental health disabilities. I am here anytime day or night if you want to talk, laugh, scream, cry or just say want to grab a coffee and I’ll sort a time to jump on a train and meet up with you. Been mates for 26 years, times have gone very fast, so fast I’ve lost most of my hair. I honestly can’t apologise enough that I just went dark earlier in the year, when I have a lot of things hit me at once I implode and self destruct, instead of reaching out to both you and X to talk which I should of done.

this is a message I sent to a friend last night, does it come across as confrontational…

@Rag_793 I'm sorry you've been ghosted. You're making me think that's a perfect subtopic within this topic of "are we getting worse at talking to eachother?" The subtopic is the cancel culture, where people cancel or ghost people the moment they're uncomfortable. So, I answer a strong yes that people have become really bad at talking for resolving conflicts. I have always hated conflicts and try to avoid them, but now that typically people around me avoid conflicts too, the problem has really escalated. So I'm now learning how to deal with conflict. But you can't force someone to talk. Even encouragement falls on deaf ears if someone has already made up their mind. I wonder what others think about this.

Well looks like communication does work 😀 speaking to my mate from Stockport tonight, my other friend is ok just having to bide his time due his mental health I think.

That's awesome @Rag_793. Triple yay! 🤸🏼‍♀️😊
