I used to never talk on the phone, but with a friend's help, I'll now call other friends and "hang out" on the phone with them after work, while I'm doing my dishes or on the treadmill. Sometimes I call them and they're not open to chatting, other times we talk for hours and just catch up. But that didn't just happen. I had to push through some really uncomfortable stuff, and my friends did as well.
VR is going to be another step, but Facetime is pretty great.
I’m not sure what the problem is. VR isn’t limited to “casual friends”. I don’t call my acquaintances either. I only use it with family or good friends.
