Further, Johnson opened up about a friend who would call him to make a quick statement for months.

“I became friends with this person who is very powerful and rich.

He would call me and say something like, ‘Brian,’ make a quick statement, I’d respond, and then he’d say, ‘Alright, man, I love you, see you.’ And that was amazing.

It was so clean, and it felt really good.

We did that for a couple of months and built this amazing friendship,” he added.

But does this method really help build deeper bonds?

Dr Murali further highlighted that such methods are usually a response to busier lives and shrinking attention spans.

Explaining how it reflects the realities of modern life, he said, “Time scarcity, digital fatigue, and fragmented attention.

People are seeking low-effort ways to stay connected.

While such methods are adaptive, they also risk promoting surface-level engagement if they replace rather than complement meaningful conversations.

The key is balance: convenience should not come at the cost of emotional depth.”
The psychiatrist also stressed that methods like ’15-second call’ cannot help reduce loneliness but can only offer a momentary sense of connection.

“Loneliness is about emotional depth, not just contact.

Without meaningful exchange, such interactions can feel transactional,” he noted.

Dr Murali highlighted one of the key foundations of friendship: vulnerability.

According to him, one needs to be vulnerable with their friends to build trust and emotional intimacy.

“Vulnerability involves sharing feelings, fears, and authentic experiences.

It typically requires time and psychological safety.

While a quick call may hint at honesty, genuine emotional sharing needs time, trust, and responsiveness,” he said.
