Anyone else feel like they're constantly 'plugged in' but still disconnected?
Hey everyone,
I've been noticing something lately and wanted to see if others feel the same. We're more connected than ever with phones, social media, and instant messaging, but I sometimes feel more isolated than before all this tech existed. I'll scroll through hundreds of posts and messages, yet still feel like I haven't had a real conversation all day.
Yesterday I realized I'd spent three hours online 'socializing' but hadn't actually spoken to anyone voice-to-voice. It's like we're trading depth for breadth in our connections.
Does anyone else experience this? How do you balance digital connection with meaningful human interaction? Have you found any strategies that help you feel more genuinely connected in this hyper-connected world?
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
