Is There a Corrosive Agent to Belonging?
New research suggests i might have a harder time creating those bonds of connection that they need. So during the pandemic, many people's lives have moved on line, their work, socializing, school. Does interacting virtually, rather than in person, change how people experience belonging? And could the move to remote offices make it more difficult for people to develop a sense of belonging at work or, you know, at school? I think so. There's not a lot of research on that yet, but it does seem to be the case that not having those face to face encounters is a corrosive agent to our connections.
