You can never really know what’s going on with someone from their Instagram feed. Instead of assuming that you’re all up to date with what your friends or family are up to, why not shoot them a text or give them a call? Even if you can't hang out in person safely, you can stay connected without tapping through Instagram Stories. Need to spice up your Zoom happy hour? Try turning it into a weekly game night. Long phone calls may have fallen out of fashion, but there’s nothing more rewarding than really connecting with someone in more than bitesize chunks.
