I didn’t realise how much I ‘chose’ isolation until I went back to the office after almost 2 years of working from home. Our HR had sent us a survey trying to gauge our receptiveness towards returning to the office and the vast majority wanted to continue working from home, including me. I gave a long feedback saying how offices are obsolete and we can work wherever we want so why make it harder for staff by having to commute. But they made it mandatory to come in at least twice a week. After so long, I had forgotten what it felt like to just sit around with colleagues and have a chat about our week and sharing food. It just felt so human and I didn’t notice how much I’ve missed this. I was so used to being a robot at home with minimum interactions with anyone outside of my family. Yes, virtual interactions are a thing but it sure can’t beat the connection you gain from a physical meet-up.

My guy you are speaking so much facts everyone NEEDS to share this

[@formoftherapy]

God this is speaking to my soul. I started feeling this way about 3-4 years ago. It took me a whole year to get off it but I got off Facebook. It saved me SO much time in my day. Then slowly I cut out Twitter, then Instagram. I can say that I am much MUCH happier since becoming social media free. I started out in the xanga/MySpace era, so social media has been a part of my life for the better of almost 15 years. It wasn’t until I freed myself from all social media how much more productive I could be and how subtly pressured and stressed I was. I replaced scroll culture with scrolling the news. I also force myself to even see news from partners I don’t agree with, just so I can keep myself in the know 100% and see what really matters or what the core issue rather than seeing all this name calling in fight bias we see nowadays. And the point of extreme negativity is also so real. I literally started watching the local news cus when I watched all the major news networks it’s just always: THE WORLD IS GOING TO SHIT. Even for my mental health, I watched a 10min piece from my local news station about pumpkins. IDK man. Life is so strange and mentally difficult to navigate. But I highly encourage everyone to at least cut out their social media for one month. See how you feel after!

[@dillontan5644]

It makes me realize why a perfect world is not always the right thing, as much as we hate negative or bad things, they do make us learn in one way or another (depending how it is being handled) having different views and perspective allows us to feel different things and if we are only feeling the positive and like idk like everything is always in our favor, in a way it's not very human like, or like it just feels odd, it's like seeing a person who is always super happy 24/7, as much as u like smiling it feels odd if you don't see any other expression besides that.

Yup wish more ‘influencers’ would draw these issues out for people. As you said, most everyone who watches this video will already agree with your contention and arguments, because algorithm. However, if the sentiments and concerns you have brought so much clarity to can be viewed and processed by a wider circle, perhaps we (as a global society) can slow our spiral into the abyss that is already separating the haves and the have nots. Traditional education is not effective enough, unfortunately. That is why, as an educator, I am so glad to see someone who knows and ‘influences’ through the tools that are most effective, speak up and speak out. Kudos.

@CR45H 0V3RR1D3 so, who cares about what you say, then? As someone who deals and works with the younger generations, I must disagree with your sentiment that they are somehow ‘weak minded’. I most often find that they are quite the opposite. If you had paid attention to Arun’s video, you would see that this affects a multitude of modern society. The technologies we use to make our lives easier are controlled and manipulated by those who want and hold power. These technologies condition people from multiple generations to believe that whatever their point of view is, is correct and that that have all the data they need.

And that is just the beginning.
