I've come to realize people aren't friendly.

Some are. But as a rule, most can't be bothered to be bothered. Or, they get very bothered over any, and every little thing.
It seems to me we have lost all sense of community. Even here, on a "help" site many choose to be petty and/or cut people down.

What do you think?

But are you being bothered to connect? You can't put it all on the other person, then no one makes a move. Maybe try to get that sense of community back from your end and people may respond?

I'd say that people are much as they've always been, good or bad, but that there are now more and different ways to manifest their traits. One thing I've noticed over the years is more 'detachment' as the virtual world engendered by new technology has taken up more and more of a persons' free time.

I try to be friendly to people, but I have this crazy sense of humor that most people don't get and they think I am making fun of them. Really I don't have a lot of empathy for people who have problems that are easily solved but they just don't want to take the steps to solve them.

Humans like to give the illusion that the're nice people. They go to church. They are polite face to face most of the time. These same people behind a wheel are monsters.when nobody sees their face.

I fully agree, Big Willy.
The nature of people haven't really changed. Technology does seem to be a cloak, however, where people can hide or be "something."

I think the problem is that people just don’t listen to others anymore. All they think about is what their next response will be. It’s not that they can’t be bothered to be kind. It’s that they’re too busy focusing on themselves.

If you prefer to sit on the fence and point out everyone's flaws, that's fine too. Personally, I found some of the old site's feisty attitude riveting to observe, notwithstanding its role in driving friends away.

What you've said reminds me of the old Help during a time when another website called "Friendster," was running. All those $#!t-pants kids and juvvies wanting to verify their accounts - I can't say I was very friendly -
"You're not nice!"
Welcome to the B Wing, kiddo! You're standing in a hospital, those most ill get priority.

I agree, I always feel that people talk at me rather than to me.

It may seem like charismatic people are born charming, but the truth is that likability can be learned and honed, just like any other skill. Start with these 10 secrets to become one of those friendly and super-likable people that everyone feels comfortable around and wants to get to know better. The fastest way to kill your likability is to come off as fake, aloof or indifferent. Chances are you don t mean to be seen as negative or disinterested; you may just feel uncomfortable in some social settings or are naturally more reserved.
