In this short monologue, the speaker argues that a pervasive lack of self‑awareness has become a human epidemic. People go about daily life—at home, work, and with friends—acting and speaking without understanding the emotional impact of their behavior on others. The speaker attributes this decline in self‑awareness and the ability to intentionally affect others’ feelings to modern technology: smartphones, tablets, social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat), texting, email, and dating sites. These tools have replaced face‑to‑face interaction, leading to the loss of what the speaker calls the "lost languages"—the nuanced, interpersonal skills that allow us to make someone feel a specific way.

Lack of self-awareness is the human epidemic. This is what I'm talking about. People show up every day to their families, to their work, to their friends, in the mirror, saying things and doing things without having any idea what the actual results are, the actual feeling. The result is how you made the person feel. And unfortunately, in today's society, as a result of technology and iPhones and iPads and computers and Instagram and Facebook and Snapchat and texting and emailing and dating sites, that interpersonal connection of actually Making somebody feel a certain way is one of what we call the lost languages.
