CÂN BẰNG SỰ KẾT NỐI GIỮA "ONLINE" VÀ "OFFLINE"

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is a big challenge to the lives of people around the world and in any field. In particular, we can easily see that social distancing has caused significant disruption to the need to connect between people. To adapt to the current situation, we almost depend a lot on technology and the Internet to be able to connect with each other. However, the transformation to online platforms is not entirely beneficial, there are still inadequacies that follow and directly affect the connection around us. “Online” opens many opportunities for new conversations, but at the same time can also be the door to close many relationships.

So how to balance the connection between “Online” and “Offline”? In this precarious situation, there are always opportunities for those who are proactive and ready for novelty. Let's find out with 𝐓𝐄𝐃𝐱𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐔 right in this post!

1. Actively “open new doors”

Whether it's love or friendship, maintaining the fire in a relationship is always essential. If we strengthen the "Offline" relationship with meals, outings, shopping, entertainment, then the "Online" relationship also has many ways to maintain. Instead of going directly to the cinema, we can now together experience online platforms that allow both video calls and watching movies, or play online games that allow voice chat together.

Although it is still just communication through the screen, do not be discouraged and judge these methods as boring. Because as long as the insiders feel happy and receive each other's attention, that is the success of balancing the connection "Online" and "Offline".

2. Privacy is a necessity

From communicating face-to-face every day to meeting each other through small screens, surely we will inevitably feel a sense of distance and disappointment. But we need to understand that everyone at this moment is also very sensitive to difficult pressures from work to life, health... So conflicts and coldness are inevitable.

But a really strong relationship is when we don't need to look at each other every hour, every minute, or text and call to report each work we are doing. Give each other our own space, so that each person can take care of themselves and maintain the inherent habits. From there we will maintain a relaxed spirit, the communication will take place naturally and happily. Don't forget to remind yourself: Stress is the rock that pulls relationships into the abyss.

3. Cultivate trust from plans

When relationships go from “Offline” to “Online”, we often fall into the mindset of “Out of sight, out of mind”. The suffocating between the 4 walls makes our mind sluggish, as well is difficult to find topics to talk about. In this time, we can "rekindle" the connection by making plans to experience together when life returns to normal. It can be a long trip, delicious places to eat, interesting entertainment places. These plans will give each person a certain interest, as well as a topic to talk about regularly, avoiding the relationship being forgotten. It's important to create things to look forward to, even if they are just small things.

Connectivity will always have different ways to grow. It is important that we relax and embrace the new state, as well as turn it into an opportunity to develop our connection. No matter how we experience it, just being "together" will always keep the heat and balance even when "Online" or "Offline".
