Do you ever feel like your presence in others lives is diminished by a screen?

Like we can sit next to each other and never take our focus off our devices. We may need someone to talk to or cuddle, but they'd rather be absorbed in the tube.

Ew.

I felt that before when I was more social but now I'm going through weird times in my life where I feel too empty to even give anyone anything through my presence. Maybe it's rather me who escapes through the screen or avoidance because I forgot how to be social.

It's okay to feel this way, and it's okay to take a step back when you need to. You don't have to be social all the time, and you don't have to give anything to anyone if you don't want to. Take care of yourself first, and everything else will fall into place
