    I only used Insta for a few days and my anxiety levels have already started rising a lot unlike me using RUclips for 3 years

      I don't use insta and tiktok in my entire life. Buuuuuuuuuuuut..
      Yt shorts and shortform still making us lonely AF. I'M SURE you are stuck on it as well. They really need to give an option to disable shortform or have it in a separate platform

    It may reduce your loneliness if you are kinda narcissist so you always feel lonely already. if you are not a narcissist, using social media means taking yourself victims of narcissists or making yourself narcissitic victims, i think.

    I’m always talking to myself on every social media platform it’s depressing because I keep making content to be noticed but I can’t get any views or likes or comments

    Couldn't agree more, so many people obsessed and addicted to social media . Everywhere most people are like tech zombies, ignoring the actual world around them. No wonder you hear about a whole raft of problems involving behaviour, attitude, stress, I could go on. Regarding the ultimate issue, so called mental health seems to be a national obsession, in my opinion the new " bad back " . Don't get me wrong there will be an element of genuine cases, but the vast majority are simply leaping on the band wagon and taking advantage. The new zzzzzzz gen, who wants an easy, lazy existence.

    The way i see it.
    It has to be balance, consume and produce. If you consume in social media you better produce something in there as well. Its making sure you are consuming with purpose and that is to be able to produce something....

    The problem that I have with the guy who spoke on the three tiered responsibility is this: Anyone who is non-liberal, and says anything will be deemed, hate filled.

    Cellular Girl
    Some boys tweet and some boys post
    But I subscribe the most
    Since I don’t tell them face to face
    I cannot find solace
    They may selfie. They may fake it
    I can’t seem to quit
    When I compare, and I’m impressed
    I simply get depressed
    Refrain
    ‘Cause we are living in a cellular world
    And I am a cellular girl
    You know that we are living in a cellular world
    And I am just a cellular girl
    Some boys follow. Some unfriend
    I’m texting till the end
    Since I’m addicted to my phone
    I’m left here all alone
    Some boys crash and some boys fall
    ‘Cause they can’t see the wall
    Social media is my bliss
    But real life I miss
    Repeat refrain

    Comparing socials to the alphabet and to virtual reality is wrong on so many levels. While you were at it you could even say "emails aren't that bad". You totally missed the point of the problem of the social media nowadays.

    The commemtns about systematic racism or the commonality of it on social media. Is just not there or so slim. This video could have address more common issues.

    I think the videos RUclips keep showing me are nothing but designed to cause depression

    Correlation not causations.. the cause lies within the depressed person and the depressed person is also responsible for being depressed... A depressed person doesn't want to hear that, just as it doesn't want to listen to anybody that doesn't speak of or out of the past (like the depressed person does).
    In the future, depression will show itself more and more (hiding behind happy faces) - giving drugs to depressed people will be a way bigger business than today but no cure will be found in substances...
