As the sociologist Brooke Harrington puts it, if there was an E = mc² of social science, it would be SD > PD, “social death is more frightening than physical death.”

i wasn’t talking about people being socially codependent, i was talking about how people are addicted to bullshit social media to the point that they neglect actual social interaction with the people (i.e. friends and family) who are literally in physical proximity to them. all to amass fake “likes” for their feed

humans are social creatures by nature but the issue is the way that people go about fulfilling those needs in the most useless, destructive way possible
