How long has it been since you last had a face-to-face conversation that required genuine emotion or love? Maybe you’ll answer, “I’ve been texting a lot more than talking, especially since social media and instant messaging allow us to communicate without needing an immediate response or showing facial expressions.”

Conversing face-to-face demands immediate responses, clear listening, and proper speaking, all while displaying genuine expression. Through these interactions, we develop valuable skills in managing our emotions and utilizing our communication abilities. Moreover, it’s these moments that allow our hearts to express love without the need for calculation or hesitation.

Texting on mobile phones is vastly different from face-to-face conversations. With texting, we have the luxury of time to think, contemplate, delete, correct, or respond later. Additionally, texting doesn’t require us to display facial expressions, and when we do, we can simply click an emoji. As we become more accustomed to texting, we may find ourselves hesitant to engage in face-to-face conversations, as they demand immediate reactions and genuine expressions.

If we all continue to rely solely on texting as our primary mode of communication, we risk losing the ability to engage in authentic face-to-face conversations. If we wish to preserve this uniquely human ability, we should make a conscious effort to engage in more face-to-face conversations, especially with our loved ones, without fear of discomfort or embarrassment, even when the topic may be unpleasant or difficult.

Face-to-face communication offers valuable experiences and genuine learning opportunities. Losing this ability will only result in our human relationships regressing or becoming insincere.
