"I’ve purposefully alienated myself from many people in my life." - that's a brilliant hook

You prompted me to reflect on my internet social life and IRL social life. I used to view the two as mutually exclusive--if I spend more time online, then I’m wasting time that can be spent with friends and loved ones in person.

But lately I’ve noticed my social spheres converging in some ways. The conversations I’m having online enrich my conversations offline, and vice versa.

Admittedly though, if I feel lonely in one of those spheres, I find myself pulled towards the other.
