And most of us on Zoom are just looking at ourselves.
I started to hide my self-view because I just realized that you're just looking at yourself and you're looking at your reflection so much where we're overexposed to our own reflection, which is why we're so critical of ourselves.
And we're evaluating and analyzing ourselves all the time.
But you're absolutely right that even if you look at someone else through a screen, you're not making the quality of content we feel.
And there's a reason I actually feel that.
I feel exhausted on Zooms and exhausted on digital content.
That is a part of that, is because the actual contact, which is soothing, eye-to-eye contact when you are in a safe situation is actually soothing.
It regulates you.
When it is as if, but not really, and nothing really happens up there, then you are exhausted.
And you know what it means to look at yourself the whole day?
It's like the enshrinement of narcissism.
Absolutely.
Look, he's a narcissist.
He used to look at himself in the water and look at his reflection the whole time.
And it's the same as what you're saying with the lack of contact where you say, oh, yeah, I spoke to so-and-so or I heard from them.
And you're so right that we're missing out on these very analog things.
Behaviors that our body's craving, our mind is craving, and we're not really in touch.
I read this study that said 45% of men age 16 to 25 today have never approached a woman in public.
And I was like, in my life growing up, age 16 to 25, 45% of men age 16 to 25 who are assuming they're heterosexual in this study.
Yeah.
