Takeaways:

1- Zoom calls, Facetime, and other digital methods of communication are wonderful at keeping us connected—but they aren’t the same as in-person communication.

2- When we can’t read others’ physical body language, it is harder to sense how they feel towards and about us, and it’s natural if this leads to feelings of awkwardness or unease.

3- These feelings are normal—it’s your body telling you that it doesn’t have as much information as it wants—but they don’t mean that everyone hates you, or that you’ve done anything wrong.

Mantra: I trust that others love and respect me.
