Today’s episode of Getting Naked With Nate dives into the question of whether or not social media is real life. Also, is social media helping or hurting us?
As you know, everything I say is my own opinion, which I am totes open to changing, so feel free to send new ideas, info and perspectives my way, in the comment below!

Social media is the life people want us to see. I have met some of my best friends through social media so I actually love it…

Real live people are on Social Media. So it’s real life. Things said here can hurt people. It’s not a fake world where you can saw anything.

Consider talking about empathy/sympathy fatigue due to all the things seen on SM which then diminishes ability to respond to something close

PS: I want to hear from you, now’s the time to share your thoughts in the comments below!
I really love hearing your perspective on things, this podcast is wonderful. I think social media is a tricky thing, on the one hand its great for connecting with people you might never have otherwise come across in your everyday life but I think money has really corrupted the experience. I guess in some respects money will always follow the audience, as a product of out capitalist way of life someone will always want to “monetise’ the popular thing which is frustrating.
So happy you’re loving the new podcast, Daphne! It feels like such a different way of communicating, it’s hard to judge if I’m ‘doing it right’, ya know . Anyway, thanks for listening and for sharing your thoughts on social media with me here!
