@PhoenixSerenity Well-said.
I hear the same 99.9% of the time. "it's the only way I can stay connected with people" etc. (BS, I say! It is a choice, and it is a detrimental one.)
I experienced, in real time, the precipitous drop in "social" connection when I purposefully stepped away from Facebook and Instagram.
Fortunately, two years out now, some people whom I cherish have started realizing that I'm not around there, and are reaching out in other ways.
Those are real friends.
I love your term "slow time"!
I am going to start including it in my communications with people.
Hey, do you want to go hang out in slow time? 🥰
