Before I do forget I'd like to wish all our followers a very Happy New Year even though I was early to bed on Tuesday night as my joints were rather achy with this R.S.I. which I contracted in the early 1990's and indeed as I type, I'm in my splints.
You may even find the whole being in a conversation so much you don't really get around to saying what you did feel you needed to.
That being said with support and practise, many of us can get by and at least it is fairly easy to clear up any misunderstandings as you get into it.
The amazing thing today is many younger people even those who don't have any recognized speech disabilities just do not seem to engage with each other personally through face to face conversation to the point that even being in the same room they rely on things such as messaging and many dealing with things such as recruitment report that they are increasingly failing to give of their best in interview which really matter such as going on courses or gaining employment.
It is that that appear to be losing essential social skills to the coolness, the detachment of the online world and it isn't just with that but even with forming relationships, having regular boyfriends and girlfriends so we hear much around the increased loneliness of younger people who just don't seem to know how to form deep friendships never mind actual relationships with people.
Perhaps rather than just being concerned around smartphone usage by time especially on social media and the prioritization of that over well-being , we ought to bring more "face to face Fridays" where people are expected to talk with people more, make voice calls, say "Hello" to someone they haven't met before?
