and even suicide. ah, m. social media has revolutionized our lives from young to old gym, and my name's maria street. i'm 40 years old. i have 4 children between one and 10 years old and i try to balance my life between being a mother my work and my instagram account. like i'm, i'm in cancer, i follow accounts that match my interests mostly about family activities. the kids are cooking and decoration, the acting, it's a kind of happy place for me. i recall something that takes me out of my everyday life on a real quick young anna anna, and i am asking, can you get back in there? i asked the yeah, that's good. i'll that is great. and the oh,

just like that is perfect. luke will post this one. it's fun, isn't it? up with this, a law is mom. cindy. bitches of us a yeah. nice. this one is a la i got the pictures of another that had the colors matching their papa since signing up 5 years ago. maria street has been sharing her private life with everyone, including complete strangers. she has already shared 1000 photos. if we're going to do a story with little birds, it's an account about her everyday life. but without any flaws or low points. factor simone la offers. i didn't mention i'm sharing these happy moments of my life so that i can revisit my instagram 20 years from now as an old lady and say to

myself, but i cannot see you had a nice life. it was fun that it hasn't pocketed dump. armando tom is on home. i think i spend a lot of time with my children and that's what i'd like to remember is that it is or, or if it's not. but then again, i often think that from the outside is also a very self centered aspect to it. i don't kid myself about that measure. i know this is me saying, look at me, look at my life. well yeah, showing it from a perfect point of view. bohak. i put a big plate on the table for me. they are appointed for to take a snapshot because you both so cute. look at my breath. ill. social media has turned us all into brand ambassadors of happiness and beautiful moments instagram, adult propaganda. can you look at me? oh, that's cute. they go. delight toasting these little moments and share them with others as africa could. yep. sounds a bit cheesy,

but it's true. monopoly visa mindful moments of joy throughout the day. can he budget even if they might not be representative of a 24 hour day with 4 children and a small apartment to her and that sense is a beautiful said the ties in mister muscles. ackerman. well, i'll let this one a bit. louisa said, even you, on pre social media reinforces this idea of a society where people are consumed with the pursuit of happiness as could it's, yeah, it's a kind of tyranny of happiness on display is equal fall is, was basically this happiness algorithm te, telling you that you have to succeed at all costs when you buddha is reinforced and even created by social media. if them or not. so when i post a photo of me on vacation with my kids were to devolve of course, i'm only showing the moment when we're all fine. that mentioning the fight i had with my partner moments before the photo was taken, the doctor sure that my kids were crying shortly after i eat where we can walk little so little by little babies or for we're doing the same thing. advertising is always tried to do or foster, namely to sparks on desire in another person,

the dizzy r shield. in this virtual world, it's not enough to present your life as a series of beautiful images. first, you have to pick the interest of others and partner in for dawn up when you post a photo. it took you a long time to frame, to find the right filter, and create a caption with different hash tags. i think you expect people who see it to like it or leave a comment. la it vacuumed like a mother having comments and your posts is the most important thing. a lot of effort of the founders of social networks have come up with a game changer. the like baton, they all have their own version, the thumb for facebook and the hearts for instagram, antique dark to day our entire lives are subject to the judgment of our virtual friends. oh, well now because if they didn't, ya know,

they didn't. oh, that's nice. when young is that quote number lucas, your 1st beetroot, let's money this one or numbers one is for us to racially. we need to be reassured that we are loved to live, that we are recognized that we are seen that we exist is saw. social media allows us to fulfill those needs. is that your legal issue? it's a revolution. the desire to be seen, to be recognized, to be loved. god, that's where we go to look for it. now. the yellow got a lot in the past, i would have to reach out to others for approval to see confirmation that i am worthy that i am someone get dykes adagio better today. it's enough to post a few photos to get that reassurance. who had, who has, who has the city?

ah, when giving meaning to one's life through the approval of others, is not just good for the ego. ah, the like also trigger is a physiological response in us. ah, like intrigues, certain parts of the brain. in particular, those involved in the neural circuit related to feelings of reward i. convulsive i'm worried that same structure plays the key role in addiction to posse. bermonte, no, it's mainly energetic dopamine urines that can be found in

a fairly remote part of the brain prove worth and the more you release, the more pleasure you feel it was still in it. so being on social media, knowing that someone likes out pictures or even liking other people's pictures, activates the pleasure centers and gives us pleasure. poke so understandably, it makes you want to go back and repeat this behavior if it is compatible to secure their popularity. and in turn, happiness, users must glorify their lives, even if it means putting everything on display garner the days of just taking a touristy photo in front of the eiffel tower. on social media, any del moment can be turned into something that represents a whole way of life. oppose on a bench becomes a moment of euphoria. an ordinary pastry appears like

a masterpiece. any one can transform their reality to fit their dreams. all you need is the right frame, the right filter, and the right caption. all these tricks have only one goal to display absolute happiness. mary, my name is marie, i'm 22 years old and i have 4922 followers on instagram. ready ready ready ready ready yes, i tend to paste mostly fashion, beauty and lifestyle photos info sound. i like to post a little bit of everything showing a bit of my world or was so you can see a lot of me on social media and it's not just photos of my food or nails. i'll post all kinds of stuff, but mostly about myself and what one me to gain new followers bree transforms. she shells

a very specific side of herself. she plays a role, goes out in her machine and getting ready for a nice photo. i'll usually take a good hour to put on my makeup hall, that's in her makeup, is my passion. but i also have to wear it for work by georgia. how they did all over. i change my look every day and i never were the same look twice him on the right. so here, so if is i mean, ah, on social media, everyone can invent a new image for themselves. create a mask. play a role and work on perfecting it day by day. ah, ah, you know,

by killing beth and i don't want to disappoint people. i don't want my followers or the people in meet to be disappointed in me. so this from that scares me under ah, in 3 years, marie's new version of herself has attracted nearly 5000 followers. ah, if she does, if he put the philosophy inherent in social media revolves round an ideal of success and representation walls, a low we gradually find ourselves in a war of clones. and again, where every one is competing against each other. very easy. i could development a tool such as the famous like button he left means that we are not necessarily trying to share, but rather to shy of g b prieto. i've seen that mobily, it looks in this culture of glosson as you said, which some call self branding,

bronze ingle, every one becomes their own brand in order to exist in the eyes of others to view the real dignity. and i think that something very troubling, like says, because in a way that you thought it leads to being loved for a certain image, and especially rather than simply for what you think to something or to me, boy mars in or back to some promot passcode obasi audrea to co or if you want to shine among billions of accounts, it's not enough just to show your face. you also have to invent a story for your character, a lifestyle marie spends one day a week, bringing her digital twin to life. i will take a st and we can see the eiffel tower from the side or to show a bit of that paris she is. oh well i,

when they said they're ready. it's all good. i've already taken a few fighters. oh ok. so little, it's too that we're staging everything. well, let's say you have a beautiful door, we will be jumping like, maniacs in front of that or whereas in real life we just walk right past it or or mac, yours. i bet. look, that could be a nice background for this. yes, most people see that you in a nice neighborhood la hook has all that sold. you the idea of happiness. he is a successful life with friends, a good job in a nice family. a shop mind is pre subtle and a healthy body. that's happiness on display. said these are you see old respond via and his happiness, the successful life. this completely fake life. i can just create today and show it

off to others without really having any other sandy equity on i can create a totally imagined existence for myself without any one coming to verify the truth of what i'm saying. oh bethany, this is in me. and that way we can get into something that can become a little bit dangerous for the yeah, the flu, out of 200 photos. marie select only one. it's a cliche picture to ah, marie has become dependent on this made up life she pretends to have ah,

does it, but i was just, i'm not used to showing up without makeup. i don't particularly like it today. i am really exposing myself. ah, yes, i feel very, very vulnerable, because this is the real me said welfare. there are no tricks and no glamour. not sure, of course, civil war by i'm afraid of being judged. her overture fell just as well. oh, and when the mass comes off, the weaknesses shine through i want people to like me because they didn't necessarily like me before. clearly that factors in that house. so oh, excuse me, i'm sorry. there's

a sister bell, journals it's, it's really hard because you want to be nice and have friends and i just thought that if you don't sit around it, then it sounds so silly. but when you're younger and you don't have any friends, i love her, it's super hard. i called to present that of course, i want people to like me on social media. but either i mean webcast is wanted. what i'm really looking for is validation culture provided plesk, lubano near digital happiness is an invention nichols. silly dick. the idea behind that is basically the miserable people are off of the spice in which they can be happy on his best. a space where they can develop and have simple relationships that lift them up a seal, which therefore you could say that the more unhappy someone is in their real life. the more likely they all to look for happiness on social networks for you. but of course, audio is digital, happiness doesn't necessarily translate into real life happiness, the fi,

she'll don't have. you had more addictions into hello. hello. hello old. is he wrong? even if the consumption pattern has changed, we can re open the file and start a follow up program. okay. oh, for almost 20 years, this center has been answering dozens of calls for health every day. people suffering from addiction to tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. ah . in recent months, the medical team has had to adapt to new comers who are addicted to social media. like, alexander may seem as one is when you're with them along with them. oh,

can you come with me this this is just us over here on average. my screen time is between 8 and 11 hours a day. sometimes even 12, although that's pretty rare. he's got he was a ha, who of it on all screens. we sure that if no, just the fun corner from us, it's too much information to be on the phone all day. i watch over a 100 videos a day read articles and send messages. yes, it's true that when you put the phone down, you keep thinking about it and you never really turn it off if level. because even when you don't have the phone and you think about the things you've watched was quality, the same goes for the night when you're trying to sleep. i would say, consumes all of my daily life. without a doubt, you say you always have the phone with you always? yes, there is something like a compulsive obsessive side that takes over the person's life. i agree, elizabeth,

i made a person, might not notice it because it's progressive and it comes on very slowly. total, so look at will said, be careful who is spending too much time on social media can make you unhappy. manual mellow. larry's with social media is about images and stimulation. proceed if you associate this stimulation or behavior with pleasant feelings. that's conditioning both commute, just like drugs and other addictions. you want to repeat that behavioral bottom addiction to social media can also affect our ability to make free choices. it's a creeping addiction that can be difficult to cure bmw for you. you should take a movie, how could you set as a goal for our next session to limit your time on social media? often, i think i should set a fixed time limit for myself so that i can spend more time with my family and

things like that. along instead of always being in my own bubble thought, so the one of the social media, creat isolation, of course it cameras in real life. you have direct social contact. that's the different thing. when lou for the last few years, alexander's life has been dominated by social media. so before he wouldn't tend to think of it as a disease lock or westport, but i think it actually is julio. but any other addiction you get hooked because you experience a positive feeling for a while, if all together, but in the long run, it can have negative effects as if it gets you so low. tamika may be giving it up completely, will be a little extreme loss. it that of limiting yourself is definitely important. we heard this have ox, limited fossil pato. how determined are you?

i think lou mo, honestly, i don't know simple and is that it's yours in order to keep the same problem with all addictions. you have to find something else that you enjoy. what works well is seeking other sensation as your risks. either one, you don't extreme sports, for example, teenage is unaided. so you have to offer them something else. you can't just say, take this book and leave the tablet at tablet. ah, teenagers are the biggest consumers of social networks. ah, according to the french observatory for drugs and drug addiction, almost wanting to admit to spending too much time on social networks. 13 percent show signs of addiction. at this virtual addiction leads to real life suffering. ah oh. oh,

good white offers. there are seniors coming on white, those guys are seniors or how many seniors were at your place. i had 5 of them over there, but then why are you seeing that they were so many? well now and mostly hanging out were seniors who as was if you want to sit down here outside the schoolyard, apps are the new space where teenagers evaluate and compare each other. okay. fung wait, what that sound. so did you see who it is now? seriously? yeah, i already showed you 400000 views. why didn't you tell me told you in the group chat you got 400000 views on that video. 400. 62000. wow. wow. and did you post it there in yet? but there are more videos and you know, to come on, show me everything. yeah. everyone was sending it to me. it totally went viral if i, if i were her girl and i missed it. 2 size i then as well.

hi, my name is andrea, and i'm 16 years old. i am on instagram and tick tock dirk, 2 years ago i gave up all my hobbies before i used to dance into theatre. as a lead auditor, i quit because to day i can't imagine living without social media that have resulted of his whatever they fill out. was it again, my name is me when i'm 16 years old turning 17 in a month. i look at my friends stories. i look at what they were up to during the day what they posted, who they saw where they were. oh, well basically stories are, i just look at the moments from their lives growing elderly mom a lot. see this guy. he's not that hot not. i'm not a fan, me neither, but there is one more or he is better looking, so i'll answer him already, lia he is cool. but other than that, i always audra chava based on these accounts,

these virtual images. they form opinions about others and build their relationships accordingly. on dollar could i come among teenagers? you can tell by the way i call dresses the poses she makes in her photos where she's from. and if you're going to get along with her, i felt all that they can resume as immune to each person's photo to see who they are and what they're wearing for, which sneakers and that's get. what's that code? what brand is it matt to jo, any know? okay, we dress alike. so maybe we have common interests. so could you look at their stories and see, he's an activist that guy likes art, she thinks saunter, and you actually build a personality around that person without really knowing them. it's that, that, that is with you think this person is so and so, so we could get along, but it's all based on appearances that to the power of its sill apples to the album

it is also targeted is always, does ideally can, which on social media that we become envious of, or over order cultures you, i think actually on, i see someone who was traveling who is with it with a friend who lives in a dream apartment who is close that i would like to have but can't necessarily have a might already have a feeling of inferiority only that she is better than me. and on top of that, she also has that thing. i don't even lushly part baffles, and it's not necessarily jealousy, more like envy and disappointment in yourself. love is a little bit of disappointment that you can't be that kind of person. i

am the velo, his to devalue self for no reason at all. if you didn't have all those networks, those pictures, those instagram post, what would you can't hell, okay. then i wouldn't care one bit about anyone else's life is just automatic. can you say to yourself i, i can't have the life they have devoured, and you judge yourself and you feel like you're worthless. jittery was, had complex's about my nose was, but the more time i spend on social media, the more i dislike it when i've even checked out how much it costs to have it fixed . wow. and at what age you're allowed to get a nose job fair is on so, but on proceed in ages are particularly susceptible to this kind of thing because they are in the midst of identity building. it's a moment when you are meeting yourself at all, moving away from the gaze of your parents, and it's a transitional time is embedded. after all,

you are still growing physically as well. one is incomplete of you, so it's not necessarily the best time in life. physically, them off, is it? what's the time when we must get to know ourselves and above all? well then to accept ourselves is just what our sex. 50. 0, hi mom. good. that did you have a good day for more or less moon? the salad. it's a beauty dictatorship storm, quoted it with his sleeve hilt somehow without you realizing it, things creep into your life. dreams devoted your quote and they end up being your criteria for beauty bonuses. you know, for example, the criteria for a pretty girl is that she is muscular and toned long with huge breasts has

a waist like this with a but like this girl and legs like that. just like a model in order to think your poorly it is and i was like, damn, i don't see any of that. i said to myself that i really need to change because i'm not good back. i'm not beautiful manager, i'm not lovable miss the article. it's terrible, but that's how it happens. and i feel even worse because i tell myself that i can't get to that place because i'm not good enough double. ah, flew some daughters as he basically live in a society where things are terribly idealized on social media is one of the culprit

williams, the carefully. the big problem is that we set the bar for happiness to high and then constantly accuse ourselves not living up to hello to elizabeth. as a result we suffer. sometimes these aggressive impulses are directed against our own bodies best course. so there are a different pathological behaviors associated with this problem of the dictatorship of happiness. mm. mm. ah ah, ah,

i'm danny berman, i'm 26 years old and i stopped using social media. ah, because my addiction, i drove me almost to suicide room. i do remember when i took my test southie, i was 14 years old and i was at home and it was a was a wintry night and felt good. unfortunately, i didn't get the likes i needed or wanted, and i didn't get the validation i needed from individuals at which inevitably led to me taking more se. ah, i kept striving towards what i deemed to be the bed itself, which was perfected skin ad vio, perfect, had perfect face. all of these things were really important.

mm. i spend time, we're looking in the mirror, take care to 200 saudis of myself a day. ah, i used to do excessive exercise. i stare at use sky creams on my face all the time. i stopped eating for a period of time and patched my food to perfect that appearance on a sounds very extreme because it was, you know, the process i was going through, consumed my entire day. there was no room for anything else in my life. no room for fred. is there room for family? i know room for my education either.

and it is to cove my life into 6 months i became housebound. i didn't eat the house because i for if i left the house, people would listen to the scattered me. that's how i felt about my appearance at the time that it was so imperfect that people would be scared of me if i walked down the street. a kind of felt like i was trapped, talk to my own home, talk to my own head. and unfortunately, it eventually led to a crisis point. i felt like there was nothing else. i was so tired, so exhausted. and i decided unfortunately to try and take an overdose bmw . however, luckily, i was rushed to hospital and survived. mm

mm. after 3 months of therapy staying off, social media, danny was able to come to terms with his situation the creators of social media intentionally encourage it's addictive the work according to former employees . ready ah, ah, mission you, my name is key on shallow. no, i am 39 years old and i have a ph. d in computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence. i worked on the youtube bower in the job. all my job was essentially to increase the time people spend on youtube toll credential, to get them to spend more and more time on that appraisal krista talk her more time

user spends on youtube, the more you troop canon from advertising disability children are most at risk left for surge from makeup here. yes, i come across videos of little girls with titles like natural makeup for back to school with hundreds of thousands of views, salt and another one. i guys 1st, i want to thank my subscribers because i have reached almost 200. so today we have a new video and i'm going to show you a subtle make up for this back to school season. how can we protect our children from the damage caused by social media use at an increasingly early age? no vow or fed as a parent you feel guilty about limiting your kids screen time or? and it's only, it's not exactly easy because it's a constant battle,

or there are moments when you don't feel like fighting it's amber to leave it to read off it. in your own opposing, i think the trend is exponential. the further we get a of the longer the screen time gets from one generation to the next. her grandma, it wasn't easy with lou anne, but it's even more complicated with victoria that the there's because she's a ready using tank talk retire. so compa pricken pip as killer, sometimes she's in her room while i'm doing something else. so i imagine that she is playing or reading. but in reality, most she has my phone or i pad and hand her off at the oil. i won't refer late, but it's not the same as having a t v in the middle of the room where you can see exactly what she's watching. it's much more insidious us to use it. feel the screens have really invaded our lives and gone everywhere. were in every room of the house. and then i mean, oh so it's much harder to control that

a co 20. ah, it's not easy for parents to control the allure of social media by the age of 11. more than half of children are already on a social network. ah, to help children break away from stereotypes and build self confidence. some organizations are trying to intervene in secondary schools, dealt with olive oil, i'm a show of hands tell you more to stories on instagram and who prefer stories from

celebrity that i do oh, while ago. but because it's interesting to see the lives of amazon. okay, check. you curious her when i'm following them because i'm a fan so i like to see what they're up to. for example, you get news about singers like new music and stuff like that. i'm that was loud on the fine because my parents take it away and do you like when they take it from, you know, it's really annoying during the week. i'm only allowed to be on like 20 minutes. so i quickly check snap t talking in stock, but then the time is an additional time passes quickly on social media, especially on tick tock in the pre. bob is in 4th grade on, most kids have a small fun and or on 2 or 3 social networks short on it. and what ever happens on social media also has consequences in the schoolyard. what would do it? and conversely, what happens in recess is reflected on social media a logical to cause. so to a completely interconnected and former kind of echo

a fairly do for a to day. it's not just the school yard anymore, but it's also everything that happens on social media. aloe is consolidated. so sorta you say sexualized videos in social media like tick tock and instagram yet? tick tock really has too much. yes. is it too much? and tick tock is supposed to be an app for kids over shot if that that maybe we're trying to replicate the model, the social media showing us slim, sexy women here, guys with a nice 6 pack just like mine. i can best every little could i come j ah let you know, does it make sense to try to follow these criteria? they're allowed to the match our personality embody tied. it i looked at the most important thing is to accept yourself and protect yourself. thought that, that's it, the quote is it, the idea behind this program is to raise awareness of the dangers of some of these situations bring. this is, the goal is to build trust lynette hawk or shall ultimately had. org. it's the parents job to guide them in telephone to be careful and point out the bad things

that can happen on the internet else. ah, if you want to teach the youngest generation to free themselves from the gaze of others, it's also important that parents limit their own use of social media. if children are exposed to these virtual symbols of success from a young age, how are they to act any different i have, we become prisoners of social media as dictatorship of happiness. marie came to her own realization after our meeting with her, she now has decided to take back her identity on instagram. it's time for me to change my posts. i've decided to do more simple things into only share content that doesn't make me worry. is this post okay or not heretic
