I think a lot of people feel like social media scratches the social itch they are feeling.

I think that is simply an illusion though. I have high social needs, and no amount of social media ever fed them in a healthy way.

Just because you are hungry, doesn't mean you should immediately reach for the bag of chips. It's important to reflect how often you do so, and whether that is getting you where you want to be in life. It's hard but really really important.

A lot of people say they are very lonely despite spending all their time on social media. They then change nothing.

It doesn't work

It doesn’t work for you. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for millions of others.
