Rant Shots #1 – The art of distancing

The biggest issue with the newly emerged relationships by distancing  is that a virtual identity is created of an individual by the means of remote communication like texting. You might find that it’s better than the old methods since you enjoy the benefits of constant engagement even when the person is not physically present in front of you.
But here’s the case –  I call it the avatar of psychological distancing lying in the shadow of social distancing. So she leaves a message for him , he replies back a bit late although not late for him since he replied immediately when he noticed it. So here’s the issue with the sent text , the clock starts ticking as soon as the message leaves the sender , and doesn’t bother whether the person on the other side is genuinely available to look into it. It kind of creates an anxiety with time until a reply is received. The sender also thinks to restrict herself to avoid crossing over the fine line of desperation. And as the wait proceeds there’s this crazy episode of scrutinizing the delay comes into play, we humans always take a defensive approach preparing ourselves for the worst possibilities as it forms to be our natural instinct for survival against danger. And here’s where the trouble makes its way into the equation, although everything that’s happening during this period of waiting is completely unreal in nature. It’s disturbing to see how emotions are getting controlled over these modern form of instant communications.
Trust me ,a talk always stands better than a text . Neither do I feel much positive about our vocabulary making any advancements in this process of texting.
