Pattern
Meaningful relationships often deserve richer shared presence than an extended stream of messages can provide.
Practice
When circumstances allow, invite the person to continue an important conversation in person.
Start small
Invite one person you keep messaging to meet in person.
Watch out
Distance, accessibility, safety, time, and personal preference can make remote communication the right form.
Concepts
- in-person-first
- Meaningful human connection moves into shared physical presence whenever circumstances allow.
