You are confusing one instance with a general behavior.

Chatting is fine.

Getting most of your meaningful social interactions out of chatting is, however, a good way to feel depressed.

Very few people are actually wired to never be touched, to never smell humans, to not be part of group dynamic.

Even introverts, which pay a great price for IRL social interactions, also pay a price for not having them enough.

Hey I'm not saying it's the only thing I have in my life. It's not like that at all. In fact I do a lot of physical stuff with other people (a lot more than most I would say :) )

But some people I only know online for logistical reasons.
