Do you ever feel that visiting social media is an increasingly negative experience? It's never been easier to feel bad about yourself, feel like no one understands you, or simply feel completely alone in a confusing world - all via the social media platform of your choice.
Social media taps into some of our most profound human weaknesses and makes it almost impossible to live without the temptation of comparing yourself to others, seeking their approval, or arguing with each other.
And our communities are being reshaped, individuals are atomized, and we're living through an absence of belonging, stemming from distracted relationships and a lack of trust in each other. Social media isn't bringing us together; it's pushing us further away.
Screen with Envy: How Social Media Culture Is Weakening Our Sense of Belonging and Making Us Lonelier discusses the antisocial ways we're behaving toward each other online and why we need to do better at rediscovering close connections offline instead.
