11:26 am
a fairly remote part of the brain prove worth. and the more you release, the more pleasure you feel it was your there is so being on social media, knowing that someone likes our 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, neither if it is compatible to secure their popularity and, and turn happiness. users must glorify their lives. even if it means putting everything on. display gone are 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

11:30 am
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 remote dignity. and i think that something very troubling, like says, because in a way it leads to being loved for a certain image. and especially rather than simply for what you think to somebody or to me. boy mars in or back to some from orchestra book. bossy audriel to call them 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, i don't tower from the side or to show a bit of that paris she is. oh. well i, when, if,
11:31 am

11:32 am
this completely fake life? i can just create today and show it off to others without really having any other lot, 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. hold ethan pavilion irritated 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. ah, marie has become dependent on this made up life she pretends to have ah,
11:33 am
isn't that agenda i'm not used to showing up without makeup. i don't particularly like it today. i am really exposing myself. ah, i feel very, very vulnerable, because this is the real me said welfare. there are no tricks and no glamour. not sure, of course it will go up by i'm afraid of being judged her of as if. oh, and when the mass comes off, the weaknesses shine through i don't 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. this early this
11:34 am
rebellion of it's. it's really hard because you want to be nice and have friends on . i just thought that as an altered are other then it sounds so silly, but when you're younger and you don't have any friends that. huh. it's super hard. i called to present that of course, i want people to like me on social media, but either i mean my presence wanted, what i'm really looking for is validation culture. provided plesk luba. no, you miss digital happiness is an invention. because 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 with 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 through the more likely they ought to look for happiness on social networks for you . but of course only of as digital happiness doesn't necessarily translate into
11:35 am
real life happiness. the fee. she'll don't have you in ah, more addictions into hello. hello. hello. is he wrong? even if the consumption pattern has changed, we can re open the file and start a follow up program. ok? 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 rid of along the brilliant wrong
11:36 am
can you come with me versus this 6 us on we're here on average. my screen time is between 8 and 11 hours a day. sometimes even 12, although that's pretty rare. committed. oh, he's got to use a ha, who of it and oh 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. name the yes. it's true that when you put the phone down, you keep thinking about it and you never really turn it off. if never because even when you don't have the phone and you think about the things you've watched was what was quality of the same goes for the night. when you're trying to sleep, though i would say it consumes all of my daily life. without doubt, you say you always have the phone with you always. zach and there is something like a compulsive obsessive side that takes over the person's life. i agree, elizabeth,
11:37 am
i made a person, might not notice it because it's progressive and it comes on very slowly. total simile, don't at all, so be careful of spending too much time on social media can make you unhappy a manual mellow. larry's of social media is about images and stimulation. proceed if you associate this stimulation or behavior with pleasant feelings. that's conditioning. both companies just like drugs and other addictions, you want to repeat that behavior. optimum addiction to social media can also affect our ability to make free choices. it's a creeping addiction that can be difficult to cure. mm. mm. well, you should take a movie. how could you set as a goal for our next session for to limit your time on social media? i think i should set a fixed time limit for myself so that i can spend more time with my family and
11:38 am
things like that. a walk that instead of always being in my own bubble thought. so one of my sick, the social media, creat isolation, of course, that counts in real life. you have direct social contact last a different day. when lou, for the last few years, alexander's life has been dominated by social media. so this was, he would, i tend to think of it as a disease lock, all left boss, but i think it actually is julio. but any other addiction or you get hooked because you experience a positive feeling for a while, if altogether, but in the long run, it can have negative effects as if it gets you so low. tamika may be giving it up completely, would be a little extreme loss if that of limiting yourself is definitely important. we heard this alex limit, it was a bottle. how determined are you?
11:39 am
i think the well 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. so you don't extreme sports, for example, like teenagers and 80. 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. and this virtual addiction leads to real life suffering. ah oh oh wait
11:40 am
a minute offers. there are seniors coming on white, those guys are seniors or how many seniors were at your place. i had 5 of them either one, but then why are you seeing that they were so many? well, now i must be hanging out with seniors who us if was, if you want to sit down here outside the schoolyard, apps are the new space where teenagers evaluate and compare each other, all could have hung 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? yeah, yeah, but they're more videos and you know, to come and show me everything. yeah. every one was sending it to me. it totally went viral if and if i were her girl and i mr. 2 size i then as well,
11:41 am
my name is andrea, and i'm 16 years old. i'm on instagram and tick tock, duck 2 years ago i gave up all my hobbies before i used to dance into theatre as a lead. ultimately i quit because to day i can't imagine living without social media that have resulted of who has one of of the 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. 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 or really let he is cool. but other than that,
11:42 am
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, a girl dresses. it opposes she makes in her photos where she's from. and if you're going to get along with her, i felt all her they get resume as immune to each person's photo to see who they are and what they're wearing for, which sneakers and best get, what's that code? what brand is it matt to jo, any know? okay, we dress alike. so maybe we have common interests, or can you look at their stories and see, he's an activist that guy likes art. she thinks alter, and you actually build a personality around that person without really knowing them. it's that, that should, that was, could you think this person is so and so, so we could get along, but it's all based on appearances cuz up to the power of its civil apples. to that, ma'am,
11:43 am
it is just like it is always is ideally image on social media that we become envious of or over order cultures without the clock hale and i see someone who is traveling who is with it boyfriend 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. i only that she is better than me. and on top of that, she also has that thing. i don't even lushly pon battleship. 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 personal awe of the velo,
11:44 am
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? hello then i wouldn't care. one bit about anyone else's life is just automatic and you say to yourself i, i can't have the life, they have the values 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 the dog dissociate 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 envelop. after all,
11:45 am
you're still growing physically as well. one is incomplete of it, so it's not necessarily the best time in life. physically them off is what's the time when we must get to know ourselves and above all? well then to accept ourselves. it's just we're paula. accept it. oh, hi mom. good. that did you have a good day but more or less in the salad? it's a beauty dictatorship. stone courted kesley's help somehow without you realizing it, things creep into your life's dreams. devoted your quote and they end up being your criteria for beauty. by going decision, for example, the criteria for a pretty girl is that she has muscular and toned long with huge breasts has
11:46 am
a waist like this, with a boat like this girl and legs like that. just like a model in water thick your poor little fish. 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 madrigal, i'm not lovable miss the altogether. 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, uncle. ah, for some doses as he basically live in a society where things are terribly idealized. social media is one of the culprit
11:47 am
lamps. be careful with the big problem is that we set the bar for happiness to high and then constantly accuse ourselves not living up to hell outdoor elizabeth. as a result we suffer. sometimes these aggressive impulses are directed against our own bodies, keep asking course. so there are different pathological behaviors associated with this problem of the dictatorship of happiness. mm. mm. ah ah,
