I feel like it is really noticeable when you read fiction from the 1800s to 1900s. All those people seemed to ever care about is meeting new people. It was such a great thing just to meet anyone else... you would probably marry them. But today people are everyplace and they are just terrible. I am starting to think they are terrible because they too secretly want to be alone.

I never thought about them that way before, but what you said makes sense to me. I live in a huge city and just going grocery shopping can feel overwhelming to me. I went to a smaller store in a different neighborhood the other day and the atmosphere was very different. Everybody ignoring everybody else, but at least there weren't so many of us ignoring each other.
