Are S'poreans getting lonelier as our city becomes overcrowded?

[True Believer]

As S'pore becomes more densely populated, the constant stimulation and fast-paced lifestyle causes social overload. To cope with the sheer volume of people and interactions, we become negatively polite which is social avoidance to maintain our personal space and privacy. This leads to superficial interactions, making it difficult to form deep and meaningful relationships. The rise of technology and social media has created hundreds of online connections, which lack the depth and emotional connection of face-to-face interactions. This worsens feelings of loneliness. What are your views?

Nothing new. I seen actual elderly (men mainly) died in their HDBs, least est around 3 weeks since the body turn black. Some actually have middle aged sons and daughters turned up at scene. So, for some morons out there. Having offsprings doesn't guarantee they will take care or even talk to you when you're old. That's just plain nativity. This kinda traditional mindset don't work in this modern city. So, they just need to wake the fuck up.

For me, I sever relationships from colleagues when I leave a workplace. I don't talk to my siblings vice versa, hardly to my parents.

The point is why maintain relationships when others hardly make the effort? Find some hobbies, charity works or even working. Least you see the results.

There are 650,000 CECAs in S'pore according to the Indian govt. Imagine if you stay in Mandarin Gardens where up to 40% of the units are owned or tenanted out to CECAs.

This is an extremely contradictory statement. If you do charitable work, you will be helping the less fortunate who may also not show any gratitude. They may even curse you after you stop donating your time and money to help them.

The PAP's policy of overcrowding our Little Red Dot has resulted in 85% living in tall, anonymous HDB blocks that create a sense of disconnection from neighbours. Unlike a traditional landed neighbourhood or condo where people might see each other on their front yards or common areas like the swimming pool, gym or clubhouse, a high-rise HDB resident may not even know the people living across the common corridor.

Least, some of them will smile and say thank you to you mah. Idk, never done any charity work before. Just my assumption. I help mainly stray cats at my own free time.

Speaking of ungratefulness. There's this one time when I was at gym when I was in down under. There's this effing litttle China guy (I am small size as well) almost got his trachea (windpipe) crushed by the barbell during bench press. I "saved" him by getting the barbell off him. We kinda got acquainted, then some months later he stopped contacting.

One fine day, when I was jogging around a well known lake nearby. Saw him, when over and said hi. This little fucker gave me a "dirty look". So, I just continued my way. As the saying goes "No good deed goes unpunished". So, fuck this modern world. Should have let the barbell crush his windpipe. It's nothing to do with PAP or Singapore. This is the way of modernity mindset. Least the effing stray cats appreciate my efforts.

I have a habit of holding the door open to the person a few steps behind me. However, more often than not, the beneficiary of my good deed gives me a blank stare, not a word of thanks or refuses to even look at me.

I have a habit of allowing other cars to enter my lane when they signal. However, more often than not, the beneficiary of my good deed refuses to wave or even look at me to show any appreciation.

People are a bit 'colder' in urban shitholes. It's the same in other countries, they have rural small towns for easy comparison with the big cities.

Get used to it.

My cousin spent 3 years studying in a university town in Canada. The downside is the racism shown by small-minded residents, the gossip and everyone else's business is their business mentality.

That's because you caught a prideful person in an embarrassing situation and he does NOT want to be reminded of that embarrassing event. In fact, he may have deleted that event from his "hard disk" memory but you kept popping up like a security software egging him to renew subscription.​

You could be onto something here.

I concurred wholeheartly. But I am small size just like him but I went to gym for almost 2 decades and he is/was a noob. The barbell was on a smith machine which can be hooked by just twisting his wrists inwards This is not being empathetic, he could have DIED.

Fuck, should have let him die. Biggest regret of my life. Oh yeah, this little fucker was studying for his master's, spoke almost zero English. My lord, au gov just like sg gov, like to bring alien people.

No. You did well as a human. Just don't expect people to reciprocate whenever you help. Your credit is installed somewhere in another dimension, not in the person you helped. On the other hand, the person you helped is not unaware of your contribution. He just thinks that you are trying to redeem your credit from him. His big ego and small mindedness will never allow that.

There is another type of person whom you should also beware if you help - a person who is jealous of you. A person who is jealous of you will hate you even more after he has received help from you.

If you have been of great help to someone and still want to keep the relationship with him, stay away from him. When the seed of gratitude finally blossoms in his conscience, he will come looking for you.​

I think so. Except for those cronies at RC, CCC...Etc. can't seem to find anything kampong spirit activity for sinkies & family that is non political as in community center last time.

I would think that Sinkies become more and more self centred, due to 650,000 of CECA Indians and mire are coming, lack of job security, no more sense of belonging, no more cohesiveness.
So every local sinkies try to secure their own job, to make as much money as possible, then migrate to Malaysia or other better living country if approval granted

For me, I sever relationships from colleagues when I leave a workplace. I don't talk to my siblings vice versa, hardly to my parents.

I have severed leelationship with colleagues and leelatives long ago, next will be friends, work in progress .
Siblings min leelationship.

I only wish I can talk to parents.

It's candid and uncensored truth unshackled by political correctness. Better than the fake smiles, fake pandering, virtue signalling and enforced 'inclusion' in urban shitholes, especially those run by left wing nutjobs.
