So many features of social media exist to cultivate and feed on social anxiety that I'm convinced way way more people have it really really bad then they bother to assess because they're like neurotypical in every other way.
Or conventionally or aesthetically attractive enough to wholeheartedly enjoy their time talking to their friends and partners everyday nonstop with no breaks and getting hostile over momentary lack of contact or "unattractiveness" but like...
Nah. I mean that's literally social anxiety 101?
I have BAD social anxiety too. But I have a documented chillness and "I'll see you when I see you" set of values in my friendships to kinda counteract how much I will be prone to bother them though.
So I know the difference between healthy social standards and like caring about stupid shit because the internet or your family tell you to.
Like I do not actually care about being left on read or not talking to someone I really appreciate for more than a day, but I am an anxious compulsive bitch. Snapchat and Instagram know this and they have features that are like "You haven't talked to this person in 42 hours after a half finished conversation. 😲" Then my anxiety goes "You made them mad some how. Somehow in your half finished conversation about why lime juice tastes so good, you made your friend mad and now they hate you." And then my compulsiveness is like "The solution to this is to text them RIGHT NOW!!!" And my friend is like "cool 👍 am at work tho" and then this goes on for eternity.
But at least I know it's my anxiety and compulsiveness. Some people really act like that's a normal and healthy social life. And it's really just.... how to datamine young adults by preying on their social insecurities lmao.
