we want to communicate less in person in a way because online communication is kind of easier.

Yeah, I think it is. I mean, I think it is for a couple of reasons. One is you do, and it is in some good ways, right? You have more time to think about what you want to say, and that's probably a good thing.

But it's also easier in some bad ways in that you don't really, like right now you and I are talking to each other and everything I'm seeing, I can see how you're responding to it in your face, right? But if you and I were communicating over text, I have no idea how what I'm saying is impacting you.

And so it's easier for me – it might be easier in that context to say something cruel or hurtful or – Hopeful even. Yeah. Because I don't have – I'm not confronted with what it did to you when you got the message.

So I wonder what that does to us as people over time, right? When they're – because it used to be like if you wanted to – well, I guess you could write a letter. But – But it used, yeah, you had to, there was, it used to be probably more often you had to do face to face. Right. More often.

And so you had to get the real reactions. You had to get the real feelings of what was going on. Whereas if you can just message it, it's still scary, but it's not, it doesn't, it must affect us differently emotionally over time. I wonder if that's valuable or not. Is this making any sense?

Yeah, no, absolutely. I mean, I think, I mean, I think what happens is a couple of things. One, it's, it's, we get out of practice, right? I mean, you get out of practice interacting with people and, and it becomes really easy to forget what, how what you're saying is impacting them in a very real and meaningful way and how you may have hurt their feelings or whatever.

Yeah. Yeah. What about some other options for like the healthy processing of anger?
