Loneliness Crisis: How Social Media Breaks Us

There is a loneliness epidemic. People are feeling alone and it's because in many parts social media it was supposed to be connecting us together separating us. Exactly. So what I noticed for myself is that I made a very [snorts] strong commitment to myself uh about a year ago about a year and a half ago when I was personally struggling depressed and anxious and stuff like that to have connections with certain people on a consistent basis. So whether it's therapy or coaching or certain friends that I check in with them every Thursday, every Tuesday, I'm very very consistent with that cuz I notice that every time I talk to a friend, [music] even just asking, "Hey, how was your day?" and they check back with me and they say, [music] "Um, you know, oh, I'm sorry to hear about your day." That that enough is validation that at least one person cares.
