I think the real issue is what causes social media to be this way? We have the world's top engineers working in ways to gamify and create addiction to these apps because the more people use it, the higher the ad revenue and higher the performance in the stock market. Kids are totally addicted to it, many see their self-worth based on how many likes or comments to their posts they get. So they portray this fake lifestyle, and everything they see is a fake lifestyle, together with mind-numbing content that is only entertaining in small amounts but yet tricks your brain into thinking its educational, and makes you watch 20 more in a row. Social media doesn't have to be this way and it actually shouldn't. But it is going to be very difficult to convince people in power who make tons of money this way to change this into a healthier more sane approach. Even the people living it will probably fight it as they prefer this fake life they live in without realizing that it is destroying their real one. The less attention you give to yourself and the more you constantly seek a distraction in your daily life whenever you find yourself bored or alone, the more you will lose control of it and you will want to be distant from it. So yeah we can blame social media, but I think we should look at the root cause.
