My VR book club's post-meeting chats in the virtual library have become more heartfelt than our real-life gatherings...

It's like the digital masks we wear actually let our true selves shine through more clearly...

I mean, maybe it's less about being afraid and more that the VR space removes all the physical noise? Like, we're just voices and ideas there, so the connection feels more direct.

But doesn't that just mean we're more afraid to be vulnerable in person?

Honestly, I used to agree with you. Then @faithcampbell framed it as removing noise, not fear, and that... yeah, that clicked for me.

Yeah I read something about how our brains process digital vs face to face talks differently. It's not always about fear, sometimes the lack of body language just lets you focus on the words. Makes you wonder if we're overcomplicating things in person lol.
