Dr. Alok Kanojia

What you see is going to be your standard.

I'll put alpha in air quotes there.

You know, so everyone's expectations for what they should be.

So I went to Germany recently and I had my kids there and we went to like a like a spa and there were like a lot of like we went in the middle of the day.

So like we were on vacation, but, you know, everybody else is at school and whatnot.

There are a bunch of old German people there.

And like old German people in swimsuits are like not the most attractive human beings on the planet.

And my kids were like kind of surprised because there's just a lot of like German people who are old.

But like this is what normal people look like.

And we've forgotten what normal people look like.

We've forgotten what normal is.

And the more time that you spend on social media, the more you will be divorced from normal.

So I'd say those are like the three things.

And sure, if you want to use it less, like use it less.

The less you use it, the better off you're going to be.

But I'm sure everyone has said that a thousand times.

I think what people don't realize is that the impact of it is not always uniform.

That your psychological vulnerabilities – and people know this.

If you've ever stalked your ex –

after they get together with somebody else, like people know what I mean, right?
