Episode 3889: Bonnie Brunet explores the emotional toll and illusion of connection fostered by Facebook, tracing her own 14-year journey from obsession to liberation. Her reflections challenge us to question the role of social media in our relationships and ask what we lose when we substitute meaningful communication for curated glimpses into each other's lives. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nosidebar.com/how-social-is-social-media/ Quotes to ponder: "It’s crazy in retrospect to think about the impact that just photos and the little sentences that we choose to share about our lives can have on others." "In the 90s, we wouldn’t have known very much about our colleagues holidays, vacations, or important moments in general." "My journey without Facebook has just begun but I’m already a happier and simpler person than I remember." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
