The quality of human connection is deteriorating, with conversations becoming increasingly superficial, according to a Chilean psychologist. The expert attributes this decline to a shrinking vocabulary and a diminished capacity for genuine listening.

She argues that the words we use, our ability to truly hear others, and our internal dialogue are fundamental to emotional well-being, the strength of our relationships, and personal development. This erosion of communication skills, she suggests, has tangible consequences for how individuals navigate their social and emotional lives.

The article also notes the influence of self-perception on these dynamics and briefly mentions the role of artificial intelligence in shaping modern communication. The piece originates from La Nación in Argentina, part of the Grupo de Diarios América (GDA), emphasizing transparency in public discourse.
