I sure think so. To me, it’s just easier to feel close to people you’re not really close to, though. That anonymity can erase the boundaries we normally have in place that slowly break down over time in person. What would be a heavy, bonding conversation in person can be a matter of course here that doesn’t necessarily connect. You just have to learn a different set of cues to pick out what’s real.
