And when we're interacting with other people face to face, we tend to focus on the right things.
We focus on how do I feel around this person?
Am I laughing?
Yeah, right.
Does she seem exciting and tell engaging stories?
But also, how do I feel about myself?
Does she make me feel small in comparison or is her confidence rub off on me?
Like, I think people do these things pretty well.
I just worry like when the offline starts infecting the online.
This is a bummer.
And look, it's true in every context that the people surrounding you, it really matters that people feel like the people nearby support their relationship.
This is just another one of these classic findings in the science that people feel better about their relationships when their friends are supportive and when your friends like your partner and they like you with your partner.

I think so.
