Quote by Gabor Maté

“There's a real waning of human contact and increasing alienation. The more friends you have on Facebook, the more alone you are.

““There's a real waning of human contact and increasing alienation. The more friends you have on Facebook, the more alone you are. And the more people like you on Facebook, the less loveable you feel you are. Because the things people like you for on Facebook are simply images that you have posted on a screen. A very concocted and artificially constructed self-image. Now, people may like that, but that same question: would they really like me if they knew me for who I really am? It magnifies itself. So actually the media is terribly addictive and alienating, for the most part. It doesn't have to be that way, but that's how it functions.””
