How can a person who doesn't use social media keep in touch with others who do? Annie Lane tackles that topic in today's column.
In this day and age, it really doesn’t mean that a person isn’t grateful. It has been drilled into their heads to text and to send an answer right away. Next time you see the person, say “thank you,” and remember that a “thank you” is still a “thank you” even if it’s not written on a piece of paper. I found that people are very superficial online and that seeing that side of people actually made me feel very different about them. I chose to take it all down before I began working at a school.
I will run into people I have known most of my life who seem excited to see me; they ask where I have been, and they ask if I am on Facebook. When I tell them I do not use social media, I often tell them I have had the same phone number and email address for 25 years and inform them that I have reached out to them -- by text, phone or email -- and have gotten no response. The reply I get comes across as lazy to me. It is usually, “Oh, I don’t have time to sit on the phone.
