Yup. Digital communication is fine to set up real communication, but it's like fast food-- cheap, fast, convenient, but not very nourishing. Even us introverts

Yup. Digital communication is fine to set up real communication, but it's like fast food-- cheap, fast, convenient, but not very nourishing. Even us introverts need real conversations. Was talking to a bunch of people a year or two ago, and we were all complaining about this problem, so much that I started The Reconnection Challenge.
It's been great just talking to people. At first it seems slower, but there's actually so much more information transfer by voice (or in person). Who knew? ;)

- t34543 7y agoAs a fellow introvert I must disagree: I dread speaking to people. I have a strong preference for text communication. When I am forced into a video meeting I minimize the video, prefer to just listen.
- reubenswartz 7y agoYMMV, of course, but I thought I was the same way. Then I realized that I like having some conversations but not others. But I would get put into the conversations I didn't like, which made me retreat to recharge and not get as many of the conversations I do like. So I decided to be more proactive about having conversations with people I want to talk to, about stuff I want to talk about, and find I enjoy those conversations a lot.
