ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Your attention. Your self-worth. Your sense of who you are.
Your purpose. All five — quietly being taken. By design.
In this episode, we break down the exact mechanisms behind it:
how infinite scroll fragments your focus, why likes function
like slot machines, why you feel alone with 1000 followers,
why silence feels unbearable, and what actually fixes it.
This isn't about deleting your phone.
It's about understanding what's happening — so you can choose differently.
Topics: Social media psychology | Attention economy |
Dopamine | Gen Z mental health | Identity | Purpose | Self-worth
