Social Media’s Hidden Costs: Anxiety, Comparison, and Critical Thinking

  • Summary

  • Social media was supposed to connect us, but has it done more harm than good? This episode breaks down how endless scrolling and highlight reels lead to anxiety, social comparison, and even physical illness. We explore how our brains react to constant comparison with the "perfect" lives of others and why it makes us feel inadequate.

    But it doesn’t stop there—social media is reshaping our attention spans, impacting elections, and steering public perception like a puppet master. Learn how fear and outrage drive engagement, and discover practical ways to regain control over your mental health and focus in the digital age.
