Hello!
I'd like to hear more about this "mountain village" situation!
Also, is there a reason you often flee upon becoming acquainted with others?
The village used to have around 300 inhabitants (around 60 years ago), but the main economic activity was extensive cow farming, which became unprofitable with the arrival of intensive farming. Now only eleven people live there continuously. I've never lived there, but since I was a child I've spent time there during the holidays. Now I try to spend as much time as possible there.
Regarding the internet, some years ago not having easy access to the network used to bother me, but since then I've been trying to limit my usage and dependence from it, so now I find it an advantage. I used to have a landline with dial-up, but this last year they stopped even that service due to the low population.
is there a reason you often flee upon becoming acquainted with others?
I wonder the same! There is probably a reason, but I'm not aware of it. Maybe I put pressure on myself or something like that. During my late teenage years I had some embarrassing situations due to reckless behavior online, so now that I think of it, it's probably a factor too.
