Lots of veg places in the US -do- use seitan. It may be your location that doesn't. It's very popular for vegan chicken sandwiches, fingers, wings, curries etc. I'm in LA tho which may be the current veg restaurant capital of the world.
I think the consequences of being introverted, asocial, hesitant, distracted etc are part of regular interaction. Just because we can be connected with 10k people doesn't mean we should be. We also don't currently have the capacity for broadband bidrectional intimacy. The way parasocial relationships have bloomed is owed to infinite friend lists.
Also, people gravitate towards what is meaningful for them. I think that some people find it meaningful to feel that they're disconnected. I think that loss and disconnection is a part of life, and while I admire efforts to connect, we have limits. I think it's important for those (and this includes myself) who are asocial to acknowledge this aspect of themselves and accept the consequences of their persona.
Last, I think that scripted or automated interactions inherently devalue interactions. A huge part of having relationships lies in the effort to connect. This is why "Welcome to Costco, I love you" is a joke. It also neatly defines the flawed scope of this app. Because of that, I declare that this is a CRM app, not a real life relationship app.
