This episode explores how modern digital life contributes to social isolation. Social media fosters constant social comparisons, depleting our social energy and raising unrealistic expectations of ourselves and others. As a result, real-life interactions become increasingly exhausting and unsatisfying. Herd psychology plays a crucial role: people align with the opinions and behaviors of their digital surroundings, reinforcing echo chambers and distorting social validation. At the same time, suppressed aggression finds an outlet in social media, creating the illusion of a like-minded community – an illusion that ultimately leads to disappointment in real-life relationships. This dynamic further fuels loneliness and social withdrawal.
