Ep 165 What Is Social Media Doing To Us?

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the way people speak to each other online. Not just trolls and "haters." But ordinary people saying things behind screens that they would likely never say face to face. This episode was sparked by watching another creator open up about the deeply personal comments she's received about her family, her parenting, and her life decisions… followed almost immediately by an interaction in my own inbox that stopped me in my tracks. And it made me start asking bigger questions: *What is social media doing to the way we see each other?* *Why do screens seem to disconnect people from empathy?* *Why are so many women carrying stress, resentment, comparison, and emotional overload that spills out online?* *And what happens when creators stop being viewed as human beings and start being treated like emotional targets?* This is not a "poor me" episode. It's a deeper conversation about psychology, emotional projection, modern internet culture, and the strange disconnect that seems to happen when a screen gets between people. I think this conversation matters far beyond social media. **When you're ready, here's how I can help you for FREE:** **(Community + Support)** Join my Lori Doddy's Total Wellness community to get research-backed tips, strategies, and free resources to lose weight and manage menopause like  **(Lose Fat)** Steal my guide with exact 5 Changes I have all clients make in week 1 of working with us, so they lose weight and drop inches even before we put their customized plan in place.
