Hmm. I’ve thought before, and posted many times about Jack’s lack of friends, or even solo activities.
If Jack had a group of friends (she hasn’t) she wouldn’t be a good friend to them or engage fully in conversations. She isn’t interested in anyone else, she has no sense of humour and no empathy. She wouldn’t be interested in having an open conversation with a group of peers. Twitter has contributed to this for many people, I’m sure. They’ve lost the skill of interacting with people face to face.
On Twitter, Jack doesn’t get involved in lighthearted chats like the canal do. She posts, people react, people praise.
She doesn’t know or care about these people or their interests, their families, what cultural experiences they have. She’s never recommending a film or an exhibition or talking about music or even television. It’s basically her rules. She talks, you listen and support. She forgets you exist.
She’s a very lonely individual and I don’t see how she would ever turn this around.
As evidence of this, when she was at Butlins the other week, she tweeted when it wasn’t her turn to play at crazy golf. She would rather interact with strangers than enjoy being in the moment. Same as the Saturday night disco where she was racing back to the table to post about what she was doing.
