Episode 17- Dot, Dot, Dot, The Most Agonizing Message Ever
Do you fear the dot, dot, dots?
You know--the wait, after you send someone an instant message in text or via social media, and you see that they are writing something back because of those dot, dot, dots?
If you are like me, and experience anxiousness over the wait and response, and feel that those dots represent more than they should, then this may speak to you.
Aside from the research that's associated with the effects of social media, direct messages, the emails that we check too many times a day... as it relates to dopamine dumps, addictions, shortened attention spans, and the need for instant gratification as if it's a measure of our value... there's something else.
For something as simple as dots, the fear actually comes with a lot of stories aside from the research and science that we are learning about.
In this episode of Confronting Your Chaos, I'm going to share the stories that were actually based on a fear of networking because of what those dots meant to me.
It all seemed to begin with not doing in-person networking events for a long time, and then being given the opportunity to go to an in-person networking event after four years, but the fear actually ties back to the tsunami from the earthquakes in the Indian Ocean in 2004.
I would love to know your thoughts and learn your stories, so feel free to comment, share and review.
