This really gets to the heart of things. When we deal online with anonymous avatars, there’s a danger, and unknown that increases everyone’s anxiety.
Compare that to talking to people you’ve met in person even once, or shared a few video conferences with.
The nature of this medium pushes people into a stress position.. so every interaction starts off guarded.
