3. Talk to people
與人交談
Isolation is a new hallmark of our paradoxically “connected” society. Between texting, Tweeting, Facebooking, email and the phone, people are more connected than ever before. The problem with all these kinds of communication is that they omit the face-to-face element of socialization.
在這個(gè)“密切聯(lián)系”的社會(huì),“隔離”卻諷刺性地成了一個(gè)新標(biāo)志。隨著短信、推特、臉譜、郵件及電話的普及,人與人之間的聯(lián)系前所未有地頻繁密集。但問題是,所有這些通訊方式都忽略了社交中的“面對(duì)面接觸”元素。
This can lead to situations like someone observing, “I have 6,000 friends on Facebook, 4,822 Twitter followers, and who knows how many people watching me on social media…and I don’t have one person I can call to go out for the night!” Try getting out and talking to your neighbors, the cashier at the convenience store, or even total strangers. Ask questions and listen carefully to the answers. This is a great way to make new connections, or maybe meet people who share your interests and hobbies.
這就造成了類似情景:“我在臉譜網(wǎng)上有6000位好友、推特網(wǎng)上有4822個(gè)粉絲,而且無數(shù)人都能在社交媒體上看到我……可當(dāng)我晚上想要出去玩時(shí),竟然沒有一個(gè)能夠叫上一起去的人!” 因此,請(qǐng)走出去主動(dòng)和鄰居、便利店收銀員甚至陌生人講講話吧。問幾個(gè)問題并認(rèn)真聽對(duì)方解答。這是建立新聯(lián)系或認(rèn)識(shí)志同道合朋友的好方法。
