I have felt this way for a few years now. It doesn't help that many of the family and friends closest to me are getting older. They definitely can't read as well as they used to. I have to make sure to word my posts on Facebook and Instagram very carefully and with concise, efficient diction. Any sarcasm or meaning left implied just flies over their heads. It scares me regarding when I get to their age.
