如果給你一次去荒無人煙但有滿天繁星的地方一個人生活一星期的機會,你會接受嗎?你會享受那樣的生活嗎?如果是一個月、一年呢?
在越來越擁擠和忙碌的城市里和社交媒體的巨大浪潮中,大家對一戳就破的“氣球式社交”、“中國式社交”、“網絡社交”等等的討論愈發激烈。在社交渠道多種多樣、無處不在的年代,有些人選擇積極地和各種人建立聯繫,拓寬自己的關係網;有些人覺得這樣太難太累,被社交恐懼症和社交尷尬所支配。還有人選擇拒絕所謂的“無效社交”,追求更加長久而穩定的關係。你覺得社交的本質是什麼呢?它應該在我們生活中扮演什麼樣的角色?
近兩年的疫情讓我們面對面社交的機會變得稀缺。不論是一個人的隔離生活還是遠程上課、工作,我們主要的社交場所變成了自己房間裡的那塊發光的屏幕。有人認為今後的社交和生活模式會逐漸趨近於此,你對此的看法是什麼?隨著社會生活慢慢恢復正常,你如今的社交心態和社交方式發生了變化嗎?你對“社交”和“朋友”有了新的想法和認識嗎?或者你對人與人之間的相處有什麼困惑嗎?如果你有想說的話和故事,就來參加對話12月份對於當代人交友現狀的討論吧!
溫哥華時間11月30日星期二下午6點,在CK Choi 120, 我們期待聽到你的分享。

If you were selected to spend a week alone in a deserted place, filled with natural wonders and no sight of humans, would you be willing to go? Do you think you would enjoy such an experience? Would you be willing to spend a month, or perhaps, a year there?
With the rapid growth of modernization and popularity of social media, there has been increased discussion over the topic of “social interactions” and its arising challenges in the 21st century. While extroverts are actively enjoying and seeking interactions with others, many people – such as introverts, people with social phobia, or those who are simply a little shy – perceive social interactions as a frightening and embarrassing task. Some even equate social interaction as futile, claiming that they’d rather prefer staying within their social bubble or sticking with online communications. How do you interpret these phenomena? How do you perceive “social interactions”?
For the past two years, the pandemic and the practice of social distancing has made our face-to-face interactions especially limited, exacerbating the levels of loneliness and social isolation. As the society is gradually making a return to normality, there have been growing concerns over the problem of diminished social interactions, along with fear and trepidation towards the post-pandemic world. What is your opinion on this? As the society recovers, do you notice any changes in your social mentality and lifestyle? Have you experienced any concerns or difficulties with social reengagement?
Join Hua Dialogue Tuesday, November 30, 6pm at CK Choi 120, where communities come together and share stories and experiences. Let’s discuss these contemporary socialization issues, socialize, and make new friends!
