two of my best friends moved away recently not far apart from one another . left me feeling a bit empty . dang , that 's rough . like a double-dose of sadness . my girlfriend and i are long distance , so i know how that goes . is there any way you can still keep in touch with them ? oh yeah , knowing that they left for positive reasons and having social media to keep in contact helps a lot . yeah , she and i do n't use social media , but i can imagine that 'd be really helpful in your case . well , i 'm glad you at least have that . and maybe it will open up the possibility for you to meet new people , too . how come you guys do n't use social media ? i guess i kind of get it , but i feel in your case it could be a huge positive ! well , we do n't like unnecessary attention , and we do n't like talking about ourselves . we just like skyping between each other , and that 's it . and talking on the phone , of course . well that 's good . skype is actually even better than having to deal with all the extra nastiness of social media .
Lack of in-person social connections and interactions.
