It sounds to me like you’re just describing the limitations of textual communication, which I agree is limited in all the ways you have written in this post except the last. But, it’s entirely possible to have thoughtful, deep, honest discussions with individuals over a textual medium and to develop meaningful relationships in that way. I have done so. Often these relationships start in a more open public setting and become more meaningful in a private space, similarly to real life.
