Hey, I'm Alex, and welcome to volume four of Find a Millennial Diary: The Digital Life Crisis. In this episode, we delve into how our constant use of screens and social media has reshaped our thoughts, emotions, and connections. From the anxiety of notifications to the illusion of closeness in group chats, we explore why we often feel alone despite being 'connected.' We'll discuss everything from burnout and doom scrolling to the emotional impact of algorithms. Join us as we uncover what it means to be truly present and build real connections in a digital age.
