Are we too afraid to talk to one another?

IS

• communication between people degenerating?

• our fear of other humans increasing?

• eyeball to eyeball contact too threatening?

• even the sound of another's voice too threatening?

We seem to live in an increasingly upside world. People write and read remotely across the world but do not talk or even look directly at the 'man in the street'.

When we do talk to a stranger we discover there is a warm friendly person there!

Repeatedly I'm finding that people who will email me avoid contact by phone.

I may reply "Please try later" but it will be me and not a recording!
