This is hysterical and troubling and sad all at the same time.

My clients are reporting to me that their employees have an
increased anxiety about engaging in face to face interactions that are
dramatically affecting their ability to do their job. They are fearful of going
down the hallway to talk face to face with their colleges and networking or
calling on prospects and clients or speaking out in meetings. It is freaking my
business owner and my C-Suite clients out!!!
This odd pod is the physical
manifestation of how people feel. It's to scary to engage so I will get inside
a physical bubble so to protect myself. Several factors are contributing to
this social anxiety, increased population and interactions with strangers,
technology that reduces neural pathways to the social centers of the brain and
not growing up with enough face to face interaction practice and getting
coaching and feedback on nonverbal interactions like turn taking, that we
normally get from adult child interactions like talking at the family dinner
table.
