When I am on Facebook or Instagram, I often receive invitations from people from all around the world who want to "chat" with me. After a while, I ask the other person if he or she would like to meet and talk in a video call. Because honestly, I find the quality of the conversations a lot better in a video meeting.
Do you prefer to have a real conversation where you can make a real connection, instead of some written words in a chat? You want to see the person you are talking with, you want to look into their eyes and see their smiles, all from heart to heart? - I do too.
The keyword here is connection: In a video call at least, you can share true compassion and make a real connection, because you can look into each others eyes and see a smile. This is why I keep written chats as short as possible, and I make appointments for video calls more often. I want a higher quality in my conversations, because I want to make real connections and lasting friendships.
Statistics say that in all age groups, more and more people suffer from loneliness. I find this heartbreaking. While people chat on social media all day long, do they really get to know each other? Do they appreciate each other and from there, do they make lasting friendships? It seems not.
Many people have lost the beautiful feeling of meeting with others and making a real connection. They need to learn again how to listen with an open heart to each other and sharing a real conversation. Some spend hours typing words in a chat app, but meeting, being present with an open heart and really talking with a person, that precious quality somehow got lost with all those chat apps.
Written chats on social-media channels are often half-hearted conversations, and what most people won't admit is that they are not really fulfilling, they leave with an empty feeling. Because the real connection is missing in all these chats, and at the end of the day: people still feel lonely.
What are the real goals and intentions of these written chat conversations? Superficial small talk that leads nowhere. You rarely find true quality in a chat conversation, until you actually meet the other person in a video call or in person, so that you can really get to know each other and make a real connection.
When was the last time you did sit together at a table and had a real conversation with a person who looked into your eyes -- without a smartphone distracting the other person, or a loud TV in the background?
Can you feel the difference here, when one is distracted with a phone or TV, and only half present in a conversation with you. Yes, I am talking about taking the time and being present with all your heart during a conversation.
People have many superficial conversations these days, and they are all day long in their smartphones. They write with many people maybe; are those real conversations, where both are fully present in that moment with their whole being and their hearts? I prefer video calls where you can see the other person and look into each others eyes, if you can't meet in real life for a cup of coffee, where you can give each other a loving hug.
There is a difference in the quality of the conversation when you are truly present with the other person, when you give your full undivided attention to each other, because then, you truly make a real connection with your heart with the other person.
What you really want is: be really fully present in the conversations you have with others. Many people don't make the time anymore, they don’t pay real attention in meetings, and then they end up surprised why their relationships are lacking love.
