I don't know what my problem is then... I was born way before smart devices and I am quite antisocial. I've always had a hard time talking to people on the phone. I still despise it to this day. Eye contact... Pretty much zero from me. I will look anywhere but in your eyes. I'm defective.
Before screens, people still had their preferences, I think they have been amplified though. You might not be overly social, but in order to get by in the world, you had to learn. Many don't learn at all now.
Yes, that is very true. I can do it when I need to. It is hard though and takes a lot out of me.
