a nice life. it was fun that it hasn't pocketed dump. amanda 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. buffet, i put a big plate on the table for me. diane wanted her to take a snapshot because she bounced acute look at me. breath ill. social media has turned us all into brand ambassadors of happiness and beautiful moments instagram above 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 or not. is it 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 ce. advertising mister muscles. ackerman were allied at this one a bit. loses the 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, like mentioning the fight i had with my partner moments before the photo was taken, the doctor sure that my kids were crying shortly after you, where we can walk so little by little kidneys or for we're doing the same thing. advertising is always tried to do or foster, namely to sparks on desire in another person or these

e r shield. in this virtual world, it's not enough to present your life as a series of beautiful images. first, you have to peak the interest of others and partner in for dawn, i, 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 the comment, la it rock and met uncle martha having, comments and your posts is the most important thing. grandmother. effort of the founders of social networks have come up with a game changer. the like button, 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, you know, they didn't. oh, that's nice. when young you know, if they're gonna look at your 1st beetroot, let's money. this one on that was 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 it 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 oh, 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 some one get guys that i don't get it today. it's enough to post a few photos to get that reassurance. who had, who has, who has a 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 hearing 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 baby 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 the 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. anyone 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 sheila, 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. it's not just photos of my food or nails. i'll post all kinds of stuff, but mostly about myself and what, what i to gain new followers briette transforms. she shells a very specific side of herself. she plays

a role. i wanted her met soon and getting ready for a nice photo. i'll usually take a good hour to put on my makeup call. that are makeup is my passion, but i also have to wear it for work by georgia. carried it all over. i change my look every day and i never were the same look twice him on the max. so here shortly it is, i mean, ah, on social media, every one can invent a new image for themselves. create a mask, play a role and work on perfecting it day by day. ah, ah, if a bachelor of athens,

i don't want to disappoint people. i don't want my followers or the people i meet to be disappointed in me. sundays from that scares me and ever 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. if a law we gradually find ourselves in a war of clones to the gap where everyone is competing against each other event easy, i could development a tool such as the famous like button he ref means that we're not necessarily trying to share, but rather to shy a g, b prieto. i've seen that mobily. it looks in this culture of flossing, lucio said switch some call self branding,

bronze ingle. every one becomes their own brand in order to exist in the eyes of others to view the renal dignity. and i think that's something very troubling boxes because in a way that you thought it leads to being loved for a certain image or any sperski rather than simply for what you think to something or to me. pony mars in or but to some promoteco, schoolbook bossy will put you to co blue. 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. ah, we'll take a st and we can see the eiffel tower from the side. going to show a bit of that paris sheet is out. hello. and if,

if they're ready, so good. i've already taken a few photos. 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 bit the look that could be a nice background for this. yes, most people see that you're in a nice neighborhood. la, hooked as old as changeable. the idea of happiness view 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, did 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 of the other santiago city on i can create a totally imagined existence for myself without anyone coming to verify the truth of what i'm saying. of bethany vision of united in. mm. and that's way we can get into something that can become a little bit dangerous for the yeah, the flu out of 200 photos. re select only one. it's a cliche picture. ah, marie has become dependent on this made up life she pretends to have ah,

isn't that gender? i'm not used to showing up without makeup. i don't particularly like it today. i am really exposing my, ah, yes, i feel very, very vulnerable. because this is the real me said wife had said there are no tricks and no glamour, not sure, of course cibola, i'm afraid of being judged her of as if boundaries is one. 0 and when the mass comes off, the weaknesses shine true. 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. this early sister

bell journals it's, it's really hard because you want to be nice and have friends and i just thought that as an old said are other, then it sounds so silly. but when you're younger and you don't have any friends that are offered, it's super hard. i called to present that of course, i want people to like me on social media either. i mean what chris wanted, what i'm really looking for is validation. i woke her, her vetted past lubin, her name is digital. happiness is an invention, nichols. silly dick. the idea behind that is basically the miserable people are off of the space 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, the more likely they all to look for happiness on social networks. pretty yvette, of course, audio is digital, happiness doesn't necessarily translate into real life happiness,

the fi. she'll don't have your head. m 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 to 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 newcomers 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? yes, 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, it's got to use a ha, who of it and oh screens. we sure if it, 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. i read articles and send messages. linda. yes, it's true that when you put the phone down, you keep thinking about it and you never really turn it off. you know? because even when you don't have the 5 fund that you think about, the things you've watched was what was collect, who are 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. zack and there is something like a compulsive obsessed inside that takes over the person's life. figure. elizabeth

made a person might not notice it because it's progressive and it comes on very slowly. total simile, not at all, so be careful. spending too much time on social media can make you unhappy. manual mellow. there is of social media is about images and stimulation. proceed if you associate this stimulation or behavior with pleasant feelings. that's conditioning vasqua, just like drugs and other addictions. you want to repeat that behavior. optimal 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 should take a movie. how could you set a goal for our next session for to limit your time on social media? awful. 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. a walk that instead of always being in my own bubble thought. so one of the social media creat isolation, of course it cowards in real life. you have direct social contact, but the different, like lou for the last few years, alexander's life has been dominated by social media. so different people don't tend to think of it as a disease local workforce, but i think it actually is julio. but any other addiction you get hoped because you experience a positive feeling for a while, if altogether within the long run, it can have negative effects as if it gets you so little tamela may be giving it up completely will be a little extreme loss. it that of limiting yourself is definitely important. haven't we heard this have ox limited was our bottle? how determined are you? i think lou, 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, hydrogen. 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 public. ah, teenagers are the biggest consumers of social networks. ah, according to the french observatory for drugs and drug addiction, almost $1.00 and $2.00 admits to spending too much time on social networks. 13 percent show signs of addiction and this virtual addiction leads to real life suffering. oh oh wait

a minute offers. there are seniors coming on white, those guys the seniors. oh, how many seniors were at your place? i had 5 at the mother. but then why are you seeing that they were so many well now and must be hanging out with seniors who us if was, if you want to sit down here outside the school yard apps are the new space where teenagers evaluate and compare each other. oh, wait, what that sound so did you see who it is? no. seriously. yeah, i already showed you 400000 views. why didn't you tell me? i told you in the group chat, you got 400000 views on that video. 462000. 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 i did tell her girl and i missed it. 2 size i did as well.

i my name is andrea, and i'm 16 years old. i'm 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 with. oh good amanda. my name is lou ann, 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 or really. yeah, he is cool. but i was on that 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 got dressed as opposed to she makes in her photos where she's from. and if you're going to get along with her, i've told her how they can resume it 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 jenny? no, okay, we dress alike. so maybe we have common interests or 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 appearance that the power of its syllables to dam

. citizen, it is always does ideally, can reach on social media that we become envious of or to pull the order cultures without a clunky on. i see someone who was traveling who is with the boyfriend who lives in a dream apartment, who is clothes 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, the muslim part baffles. 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 for, ah, the velo, his,

you devalue self for no reason at all. if you didn't have all those networks, those pictures, those instagram post, what would you can some okay if that i wouldn't care one bit about anyone else's life. it's just automatic. can you say to yourself i, i can't have the life they have developed and you judge yourself and you feel like you're worthless. shit always had complexes 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 offer is unsold. not obvious. aussie teenagers are particularly susceptible to this kind of thing because they are in the midst of identity building. it's the moment when you are meeting yourself. oh, moving away from the gaze of your parents, and it's a transitional time, e, as in bell. after all, you're still growing physically as well. one is incomplete,

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 is sure to a policy accept it. so i'm um, good. that did you have a good day thought more or less in the salad? it's a beauty dictatorship. don't quote, it is with his slaves built somehow without you realizing it. things creep into your life's dreams. devoted your quote and they end up being your criteria for beauty. and this is an example. the criteria for a pretty girl is that she has muscular and toned long with huge breasts has a waist like this with a bite like this and legs like that. just like

a model in my room. think your poorly at it and i was like, damn, i don't see any of that. i said to myself, i really need to change because i'm not good back. i'm not beautiful manager, i'm not lovable miss the out of guns. 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 on social media,

is one of the culprit lamps. be careful with a big problem is that we set the bar for happiness to high and then constantly accuse ourselves not living up to hello does this work? as a result we suffer. sometimes these aggressive impulses are directed against our own bodies. so there are different pathological behaviors associated with this problem of the dictatorship of happiness. mm. mm. ah . with me. i'm danny bowman.

i'm 26 years old and i stopped using social media app because my addiction drove me almost to suicide. mm. i do remember when i took my car southie, i was 14 years old and i was at home and and it was a was a wintry night and i 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 pair that southie which was perfected skin ad vio, perfect, had perfect face. all of these things were really important.

mm. i spent i were looking in the mirror, take care to 200 south ease of myself a day. mm mm. i used to do excessive exercise. i stare, use sky creams on my face all the time. i stopped eating for a period of time and pitched my food to perfect that appearance. and it 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 friends. there, room for family. i know room for my education either. ah

and which is to cove my life into 6 months i became housebound. i didn't leave the house because i for if i left the house, people would literally be scared of 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 on the street. a kind of felt like i was trapped trapped my own home truck 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. 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 of the work according to former employees. ready ah, ah yes, yes, my name is kiara 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 utah bowery tube. the jug 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 it appraisal. cuz little hill,

her more time uses, spends on youtube, the more youtube can on from advertising, the publisher to children are most at risk. less for search from makeup here. yes, i come across videos of little girls with titles like natural makeup for back to school, with hundreds of thousands abuse sultan demetre. well, 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 log. 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 mpeg,

you leave it to read off it easier than your own opposed. i think the trend is exponential. when 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 take talk with diana. so i'm perfectly pretty pascaner sometimes she's in her room while i'm doing something else. oh, i imagine that she is playing or reading, but in reality, most she has my phone or i pad in hand over to oh, well, to defer 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. yes, it feels his greens 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. ready

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 and secondary schools dealt with olive oil, i'm a show of hands. you want to stories on instagram and who prefer stories from celebrity that i do. oh,

wow. caught both 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. no, was loud on the fine because my parents take it away and do you like when they take it from you? no, 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. when leopard bob is in 4th grade on. so most kids have a small fun and are on 2 or 3 social networks short on it's ever happens on social media, also has consequences in the schoolyard that will do it. and conversely, what happens in recess is reflected on social media about the call to course. 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 that are maybe we're trying to replicate the model, the social media showing us slim, sexy women, guys with a nice 6 pack. just like mine. i can better be the show, could i come j ah, mitten animal? does it make sense to try to follow these criteria? they're allowed to the match our personality embody type 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 that some of these situations bring back in. this is the goal is to build trust, limit 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? 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,

stop. ah, ah, in good shape. keep your feet fit. after all, you use them a lot in the equivalent of about 4 trips around the world by the end of your life. how can we keep our feet healthy? so we say pain free, what should we know about them? how can we give them a break, and what can our hands do for our feet in good shape and in 30 minutes on d, w o.
