I definitely think that it makes being alone more painful. I stopped using Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat almost a year ago, and I just shut down Instagram about two months ago. It made me realize how much more I focused on how lonely I felt because I saw all of these interactions but it never felt like I was connected or intimate with anyone. I’m still lonely and spend a lot of time alone, but it doesn’t feel like it’s taunting me and driving me towards suicide out of despair.
