Okay, so you're a snob.

No, I'm just an introvert. I have a few people to who I feel deeply connected to, and our exchanges are rare yet substantial. But these don't require IM or anything like that. I don't know anything about "shooting myself in the foot". I just don't have the impulses that some other people do (frankly, for me as a schizoid, people are very puzzling entities).

Also, "effectively communicate" is such wonderfully non-specific expression that I don't know what that even means.
