And so you had 13-year-olds using it because it was cute, but then suddenly hating the normal pictures of themselves and not knowing why.

And it's because it was subtly changing your face.

Oh, because I think that it has...

So because girls use social media more than boys and they say that they find it harder to give up.

And as I said before, it sort of these platforms tap into our vulnerabilities and our vices.

But then lately I've realized that I think it does that for everyone.

So I used to think that social media is particularly bad for girls because it makes you feel insecure.

It makes you ruminate.

And it encourages this indirect aggression, so reputation destruction and going after people online.

But now I see grown men online acting like teenage girls.

And I think it's because the platform itself encourages these behavior that teenage girls already typically do.

And so you see people online of all genders, of all different sides of the political spectrum, all different types of content, thinking like teenage girls.

So becoming more ruminative, spending hours and hours on platforms where they have to share how they feel, how their day is, their opinion, encouraged to sort of catastrophize and ruminate over that.

Then you have men and all different types of people becoming more insecure and

So looking at themselves through a front-facing camera, which is bad for girls, but even worse, I think, for boys.

It's just very unnatural to sort of forensically analyze and inspect your face.

And so you have looks maxing and guys getting really obsessed with how they come across and how they appear and also thinking they have to be this perfect product.

And then you also have guys using sort of the typical aggressive tactics of teenage girls online.

And so Louise Perry and Mary Harrington have spoken about this, that the internet forecloses physical aggression.

You can't punch someone on Twitter.
