Plains Talk by Lia Clausen LMHC
AN IMPORTANT DISCONNECT It is sadly ironic that people who engage in social networking to make connections may actually feel more isolated. According to a study involving 1,787 U.S. adults between the ages of 19 and 32, those who used social media for more than two hours a day were twice as likely to feel socially isolated as those who only used it for under half an hour every day. Some researchers speculate that overuse of social media may lead to feelings of exclusion and jealousy, as users see friends having fun at a social event to which they were not invited. These results suggest that the time spent on social media could be more productive if it were used in face-to-face interactions. Do you find yourself feeling alone and isolated? Are your most important friends on social media? Our counselors can help you identify your challenges and make it possible for you to feel comfortable socializing in person again. Dealing with depression, grief, or stress can be one of the many contributing factors. We can help. Please call our office today at 712364-3500 or 800-325-1192. Our address is 700 East 2nd St., Ida Grove. We help people cope with everyday living. P.S. Social isolation is linked with an increased risk of premature death by as much as 26 percent.
