This will reduce the risk of feeling socially awkward, lonely and depressed. But, if we can't communicate with others in a face-to-face conversation, we should benefit from communicating with them using video chat, rather than using writing or texting. With video chat we will be able to communicate with our partner more easily, for example we will be able to see his face for non-verbal signals, see if he is lying and understand what he is saying without just reading the words on a sheet of paper.
