Day 31: Loneliness is real
“I am detached from the digital social media. That sometimes puts me in the spot and induces that loneliness.”
Even Sanket admits it: leaving can feel lonely. Name the loneliness, then plan for it.
The evidence genuinely conflicts. A 2018 trial that limited social media to 10 minutes per platform per day for three weeks reduced loneliness. Calvert's one-week detox found loneliness unchanged, and researchers note that for some people social media helps with loneliness. Leaving the feed doesn't build connection by itself; you have to schedule it.
