I like Ozy's taxonomy of the five basic types of relationship problems:
1. stupid problems
2. basic incompatibilities
3. problems that are actually a different kind of problem
4. horrifying soul-sucking messes
5. terrible people

I'm thinking of starting a series of short videos where I explain what we're finding out about communication, relationships and technology at @Actual_Chat....

@ChuckBaggett Sorry about that! We're rebuilding the site, bear with us 🙏

[Anna Gát 🧭 @TheAnnaGat]

While all this madness is happening, we're rebuilding the @Actual_Chat product, and you can soon try a demo 💗🤫

Over-apologizing might seem harmless, but it can undermine your authority and confidence https://t.co/cDG8rRlDZ8

I wish they would teach how to communicate in school. Such as how to
- give and receive feedback (good and bad)
- positive reframing
- non violent communication
- creating positive feedback loops
- difference between facts and emotions
- eye contact, intonation and pausing

Which one are you 🧡✨

[Anna Gát 🧭 @TheAnnaGat]

From my professional POV:

- people who send many short messages but switch to perfectly punctuated monologues when angry or infatuated

- and people who generally send long messages but switch to many short messages when angry or infatuated

Anyone involved in digital — i.e., any — courtship in 2019 will cite this “flow and ebb” phenomenon as both a digital playground promising excitement and pleasure, and an endless source or stress [and] anxiety...

@LiveWorkPlayDxb I've recently heard from multiple people that sarcasm [in messaging] was a happiness level lowering factor in their life in general.

I'm quite curious about this, may write my next piece for @Actual_Chat about this!

I've recently heard from multiple people that sarcasm in messaging was a life worsening factor in their lives, in general and across types of relationships.

We have some stuff on this. Should I write the next @Actual_Chat piece about sarcasm?

@michaelgarfield @SimonDeDeo @TheAnnaGat @IxyLabs @sfiscience Our work may be relevant here indeed 🤗
