Meaning
This reads as a dry correction to the way constant contact can be mistaken for care. It points to the quieter, steadier affection that does not announce itself often, and can land when someone realizes that attention is not the same as depth, especially after comparing a noisy relationship with a distant but genuinely supportive one.
