Do you find it hard to connect to people without services like FaceTime, Snapchat, Messenger, or Whatsapp? I'm a similar age and so much of my socializing takes place on digital platforms like those, especially during COVID.

Shockingly SMS works fine, nobody ever had problem with it.

I use FB like once a week on my PC/Laptop because I'm studying and unfortunely it is must have

on my PC/Laptop I use a lot of VoIPs like Ts3/Discord, but in 90% of the cases with people from the Internet, so it's hard to relate.

You're probably right, but I do not use them (insta, snap, ...) so I'm not aware of what I do lose
