It seems to me we might not be suited for constant communication or even the constant ability to communicate with everyone at anytime.
In the past, the norms around reaching out to someone were remarkably different, as not everyone was instantly connected. Communication often occurred through slower means such as in-person interactions or mail, where waiting weeks for a response was typical. There was a mutual understanding that individuals had their own lives and responsibilities, resulting in less immediate expectations for replies compared to today's instant communication culture.
Perhaps there's merit in revisiting or evolving our communication norms to reflect those values from the past. This could involve embracing a slower, more intentional approach to communication that values patience, presence, and deeper connections. By doing so, we may find greater fulfillment and meaning in our interactions, thus fostering more genuine and enriching relationships. I think direct intentional communication can create boundaries and have a more fulfilling life.
By embracing that slower, more intentional approach to communication, individuals may find greater satisfaction in their relationships and feel less pressure to keep up with a large network of contacts. This could involve setting boundaries around communication, prioritizing quality over quantity in relationships, and making concerted efforts to nurture deeper connections with those who matter most to us.
