My partner and I have built our entire social life around online communities and Discord servers and we both feel deeply connected to our internet friends but when we try to hang out in person we realize we don't actually know how to be together without screens anymore. We keep planning meetups with our online friends but they never happen and I think we're both starting to feel like our digital closeness might be keeping us from real intimacy.
More people experience this than they realize.
The very technologies that promise connection can become barriers to the embodied presence that sustains lasting intimacy.
