Communication Breakdown

Is it a fact that with increasing methods of communication and opportunities to reach out to others across the miles, we become more inclusive? Do we identify the fact that the chances of unwanted strangers bombarding us with hot air has increased, and so block any unwanted face regardless of their intent? This then makes it evermore difficult to meet new people or build stable relationships with fresh faces. So those of us who are lonely; those of us who are moralistically sound, open palmed and eager to discover new friendships are shunned away. What then if the social rejection becomes a catalyst for a downward spiralling self-esteem? When, in painful irony, the new communication methods, advertised as being able to help us to improve our social lives, are really to blame.

Just a thought.
