An addiction can be around anything. And that means that we lose touch with reality.
Have you ever wondered if social media is really making you happier, or if it's just another source of stress? In this episode of 'From Darkness to Light', Shama Persson dives into the complex relationship we have with social media. She weighs the benefits of connection and community against the pitfalls of addiction and isolation.
Shama doesn't shy away from the tough questions: Does that little dopamine hit from likes and shares truly make us happy, or is it just a fleeting pleasure that leaves us craving more? And what about the darker side—envy, stress, and the constant comparison to others' seemingly perfect lives? Shama also tackles the hidden risks of being an 'addictive personality' online, a danger many of us overlook because 'everyone's doing it'.
She emphasizes the importance of finding balance and being authentic in our online presence. Reflecting on capitalism's role in our quest for attention, Shama offers insights on how to navigate this digital landscape without losing ourselves. If you're curious about how social media affects your mental health and want practical tips for healthier online habits, this episode is for you.
