I always take my kindle whenever I go to a restaurant alone.

Speaking entirely from my ass, but I guess that it's different for people who were raised before the internet as we know it today became a thing, and people raised in the era of social media.

I call people here tranny faggot niggers all the time, yet I'm nothing like that in real life. But I was raised in the 90s, and the internet was never "my reality" until I was in my late teens; it was and is more like a videogame or something. It helps "dissociate" your IRL identity from your online being, really.

Younger people though were raised on the internet, and their primary self IS their online self, or better saying, they didn't have this barrier separating their online identity from their IRL one, those are far too intermingled.

Ever since I was a child I had difficulty articulating my thoughts and talking to others. Like, if I had to talk to someone on the spot, it was as if there was this interference in my brain and I wouldn't be able to focus enough on the subject at hand to properly convert it into words and in sentences and in overall communication. I can only talk to people if I think things over beforehand and basically rehearse it, or if it is someone I'm really close to in which case the "interference" suddenly dissipates. Whatever it is, I feel like it's contributed a lot to my alienation from other people.
