Escaping the Trap: How Social Media Can Fuel Pain and Addiction

But what I essentially try to say is addiction, or whatever act that you do constantly against your will, kind of begins and ends with pain because you want to escape something, a feeling, and then you're doing this short-term pleasure type of activity and then, when you're done, you feel bad about it again because it hasn't really solved anything.
Ever caught yourself mindlessly scrolling through social media, not even sure what you're looking for? You're not alone. In this episode of 'SocialMediaBreakup', Johan digs deep into why we often turn to social media as an escape from uncomfortable feelings. He explains how these platforms can offer a quick distraction but leave us feeling worse afterward. Johan tackles the tough questions: Why do we use social media to numb our discomfort? What are the real consequences of this digital escape?
And most importantly, how can we break free from this cycle? With practical advice and relatable anecdotes, Johan guides listeners toward using social media intentionally, rather than as a crutch. This episode is perfect for anyone who feels their phone has too much control over their life and is looking for ways to reclaim their time and mental well-being.
Tune in to learn how to honor your feelings without running away from them, and start your journey toward healthier digital habits.
