I have this feeling (and I could be wrong) that I can switch on and off. Knowing (physical) social situations are temporary always helps me.

With social media and the expectations that come with it - replying on time, liking, regular posting etc, I feel there's simultaneously no respite from it, and also an alternative to engage with people from behind a screen.

I'm not putting all the blame on it, but its effects can be multifaceted. I don't we (as a collective) fully understand it.

Thank you, this was a really thought-provoking read.
