The Importance of Conversation in Relationships
I was texting with a number of different close friends and just feeling like that was really dissatisfied or certainly not particularly fulfilling. That's actually something specifically I suggest in the new book is this idea of sort of conversation, conversation centric approach to relationships. Our brain does not understand one bit of a thumb up on Facebook in the same way as it does a wink or a smile from someone in person. And so you can actually be intensely lonely, even if you never go more than five minutes without some sort of electronic communication with someone.
