I've always been bummed that video chat has been practical for years and years, and the only people i ever video chat with are doctors. : (
Why be on video when for the majority of people and conversations, just voice is 100% as good and you don't have to be seen? People hate being perceived, that's why people hate work zoom calls so specifically. "This could have been a phone call or email."
Anecdotally, I think there's a neurotypical-neurodivergent divide on video calls, but it's definitely understudied.
I just don’t want to shower tbh
Video chat is pretty much my entire social life now due to COVID. Met the vast majority of my current friends over Zoom. I know you said earlier you're still masking - if you don't know where to find video chat social events for covid-conscious people I can get you some links.
