If you want to understand why so many people are feeling empty & hollow, I believe this to be the reason:
Humans have an innate drive for deep biological connection. We don’t just want to be heard and understood… we want to truly know and bond with others.
Social media offers the illusion of that connection, allowing us to engage from a distance without the vulnerability or risk of harm that comes with real-life interaction.
That’s the allure of social media & influencer culture, platforms like TikTok and YouTube create the false impression that you’re forming a meaningful bond with someone, getting a glimpse into their life on a deeper level. But the reality is, there’s no genuine connection… it’s entertainment disguised as intimacy.
What appears to be their real life is carefully curated, a facade engineered to satisfy the primal human craving for connection without ever actually fulfilling it.
Social media exploits our deep need for connection by providing a simulated version of it… one that feels real enough to satisfy the craving temporarily but ultimately leaves people feeling empty because it lacks true vulnerability.
