In this episode, I talk about:The dramatic difference between how you behave online and how you behave offlineHow social exchange theory might explain why you are more extroverted online than you are in real life, and how innate reward and survival mechanisms cause you to overshare information about yourself on social mediaWhy the way you use social media is feeding the algorithms and inadvertently creating the negative experiences you have onlineHow social media is encouraging you to compete, instead of connect, with other people by prioritising features that promote ranking behaviours above linking behavioursThe creation of echo chambers on social media that reinforce your existing world view and make you less tolerant of other people’s perspectives and opinionsWhy proper conversations are important for self-reflection and the development of empathy but declining thanks to social media eroding our willingness to socialise and driving us to stick to lighter topics in real life discussionsHow presenting a highly-curated version of yourself online and not allowing yourself to be vulnerable has made you less forgiving of other people’s mistakes and flawsThe reason why negativity and negative emotions spread so quickly across social networks, even when there is no direct contact between usersHow social media offers you anonymity, invisibility, and asynchronicity that leads to a minimisation of authority online and a belief that there are no real life consequences for your online actionsThe reason social media algorithms amplify the worst human traits to grab your attentionHow to be kinder on social media and present the most authentic version of yourselfThe 7 day conscious, conversational, and constructive social media challengeView show notes including links to all the resources and tools mentioned: https://thedigitaldietcoach.com/018
