In my early 30s, I was the caregiver for my wife, who was dealing with chronic pain and other health issues. It was all-encompassing and there wasn't a lot of time to have outside social interactions. Luckily, you don't need to see your friends every day to reap the benefits of social interactions. Maybe you open the door to a deeper relationship, but even if you don't, you'll feel better. Over time, you're going to connect with people and naturally become vulnerable unless you're really fighting it.

When this colleague reaches out to team members via the Slack platform, he will frequently just say “Hi <Name>” with no follow-up. Or are we all just obstinate and are not being understanding of a different communication style? For one thing: Is he saying “Hi <Name>” as a way to start a conversation about work with the colleague to whom his “hi” is directed? Delivering feedback about a person’s personal — or, in this case, professional — communication style requires a light touch.
