One thing I just noticed about online convo is it's really hard to truly listen to someone with full acceptance (but not agreement), and for that person to feel it and for both parties to benefit.
There's something healing when that happens in IRL convos, especially between people with opposing views.
Online its mainly agreement or an argument.
The ability to listen with full acceptance and to seek understanding gradually atrophies, and instead we habitually jump to conclusions and polarize.
