The real downfall of the dating was wasn't just social media it was Instagram Stories

Stories have completely removed peoples ability to connect with anyone because of the constant feed of attention. This can be both men and women but a huge percentage of women now days. They’re all so focused on posting stories of their day and checking who watched it and who liked it. This constant feed of attention has destroyed everyone’s brain.

Having a bad day, post a story at the gym or a selfie and watch all the desperate men or women watch it and like it. Look how important i am. People live for this. It’s given them a 24-7 dopamine machine. The person you’re dating making you mad post that selfie and feed off the attention so you have no time to self reflect or connect on a deeper level.

Literally can’t stand it anymore the amount of times I see people constantly posting and checking who viewed their story all day long is ridiculous. I have a high following count on social media but even I can recognize when things are a problem. Peoples brains are fried this not how people are supposed to be living life.

At least without stories it was less of a constant feed of attention.
