I think about this a lot and think it started with facebook. I remember when the profile “timeline” first came out, and how it robbed us of telling our own stories. when you meet someone, there should be years of mystery behind them but the precedent of facebook ruined all of that
The lost art of being mysterious and getting to know someone definitely goes hand in hand with the lost art of storytelling. And people can't become themselves in the same way anymore because it's always tbt to when you were in an earlier stage of life
