it will. saying that from experience. makes you bit of an outcast though - be ready


Only if you are incapable of keeping relationships with people directly.

Be it sms, WhatsApp, telegram, phone, etc.

People get really skewed perspectives of what being socially active means. Instagram/FB/etc is not really needed.


well yeah... for new contacts I mean


I don't get it. If it's meeting new people then offline is probably better and if it's reinforcing connections and activities with those new people, if the interest is there, you can definitely accomplish it with my previous points.


try telling hot chick you just met that you ain't using a phone and see how it goes


Nice strawman. In any case, I'd say that the old adage of confidence and being attractive (personality, presentation, etc) is more important than many of the things you're insecure about.
