Hey everyone, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. We have all these amazing ways to stay connected—social media, messaging apps, video calls—but sometimes it feels like we're more isolated than ever. I'll catch myself scrolling through my phone while sitting with family, or texting someone who's in the next room. It's like we're all physically present but mentally somewhere else.

I'm trying to be more intentional about putting my phone down during meals and actually having face-to-face conversations. It's harder than I expected! Has anyone else noticed this? What do you do to stay genuinely connected with people in your life, especially with so many digital distractions around?

Totally feel this. I’ve started leaving my phone in another room during dinner, and it’s made a real difference in being present. It’s a small habit, but it helps.
