That’s why some are replacing the term “social distancing” with the better phrase: physical distancing with social connection. There’s a sweet spot, though; one that it helps to be grateful for at a time like this: the one-on-one catchup has, in my eyes, often been superior to the group friendship catchup. Dynamics shift dramatically depending on if you’re catching up as a pair or as a group of three or more. I ask different questions from the group catchup, too. You may even find the courage to be vulnerable; a revelation that could transform every social catchup you have post Covid-19.
