If you feel like you “suck” at digital communication, the truth is that your sensitive INFP or INFJ soul is simply mismatched with an inhuman, machine-driven world.

Hello dear soul, and welcome to the Lightbearer's Library. When our phones feel like a ball and chain, and notifications trigger dread, it’s easy to blame ourselves for being "bad" at texting or email.

In this journal entry, we explore why our communication problems are actually a systemic issue, not a personal failure. We are built for deep, soul-to-soul connection. The kind that includes eye contact, shared silences, and the energy of being in the same room. Digital tools strip away 90% of what we need to feel safe and authentic.

Instead of striving to be "better" at digital communication, I’m calling on us to prioritize in-person connection, which will help us to flourish as human souls.

You aren't broken. You're just a canary in the coal mine of a crazy civilization.

✨I’d love to know: what is one "unspoken" thing you miss most in digital conversations? Is it the eye contact, the shared silence, or just the feeling of being in the same room?

XOXO,
Kate Harmony

🌿 About Kate Harmony 🌿

My main channel (Hack Music Theory) has over 250K subscribers and 10 million views. I've been a full-time YouTuber since 2017 and launched this personal channel (Lightbearer's Library) in 2025, where I'm making video versions of my journal entries.

Some of my favourite topics to talk about are practical philosophy, positive psychology, and personality type (I'm an INFP). But honestly, my journals contain counter-cultural thoughts about everything, so expect the unexpected! I also share practical ways I'm improving my mental health, with the hope that you might find them useful too.

I deleted all my social media accounts over 10 years ago, so I offer a loving perspective that's free from the divisive language commonly found in feeds nowadays.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, then I warmly welcome you into the Lightbearer's Library. Stay for a while, and please remember to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV2wps4NID9rrO08OuwZ5Lg?sub_confirmation=1
