Every call, a commitment

Maintaining contact means creating ever-increasing commitments. First, you commit to being accessible. Then, those exchanges that are not "pointless" (or for their own sake) create commitments for a follow-up: a meeting, an action, a call back. Even "pointless" exchanges imply a commitment to make time and attention available to such chat. The more the calls or messages, the more the commitments.The more the commitments, the more stress and anxiety we experience.
