I Need Social Interaction But Hate Being Social

Is social media making people lonelier by the day?

There have been some studies showing social media interaction has actually made people less social irl. As a result, they retreat even further into a digital world and the relationships there, often limiting themselves to distant socializing.

@SW-User It's easy to understand, for sure. Personally, I sometimes spend more time on my phone in crowded places where I could be interacting with others instead of reacting to people I can't even see.
@StevetheSleeve true. I've lived this.

@StevetheSleeve Good point!
I think it does.
but we keep trying to fill that social need with it as though its effective. And it is not.

Yes it is. I think the ability to communicate with people face to face will suffer a great deal in the younger generations.

Absolutely, I just discussed this with a friend. People need to interact in person more.
