This perspective directly challenges the prevailing narrative that screentime and #SocialMedia are primarily responsible for youth isolation and #anxiety.
While #JonathanHaidt has prominently advocated this connection (and his concerns have merit) emerging research suggests this framework oversimplifies a far more messy and layered reality.
#Digital habits represent just one factor among many interconnected influences shaping young lives today.

Hi fedi friends… things are really not ok… like actually legitimately pretty shit…
But I desperately need to make silly posts and chat with y’all like everything is ok…
Is that alright? Can both things be true?
Time for an #Introduction post. I’m a #liveaboard #sailor (www.svloka.com) and full time #nomad who is also a #creative #artist. I play #guitar, #crochet, paint (#watercolor & #acrylic), and draw #penandink. I love #yoga and use #meditation to manage my #anxiety. Got #sober in 2020.
I am a recovering #softwareengineer (#programmer) and #ITmanager. I focused a lot on #leadership & effective #communication, and I still enjoy #mentoring people on those topics. I still tinker with tech on occasion.
#Anxiety and #depression are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS, and I wish prescribers could tell the difference.
First time posting here. Somewhat nervous about it. My social #anxiety keeps on whispering in my ear "You shouldn't do this, you'll get burned." I just try my best not to listen to it.
I'm #trans. Most of my life I've tried to convince myself I'm not but obviously it doesn't work like that. I would really love to free myself from the suffocating feeling of shame and some weird form of guilt that are attached to my identity.
This might be a start on path to healing. At least it's something.
