Lesson Overview

11.04 – Scrolling to Escape: When Your Feed Replaces Friends: Scrolling offers a quick escape from boredom, sadness, or loneliness, but too much can replace real connections with digital noise. When feeds become your comfort zone, your social world shrinks without you noticing. You might feel surrounded by people online yet emotionally isolated. Building awareness of why you reach for your phone helps you choose more meaningful ways to recharge. Sometimes a call, a walk, or creative project provides deeper relief than endless scrolling. Human contact builds serotonin and belonging, while passive content often drains both. Try replacing just one scroll session a day with a real conversation. Reconnection doesn’t require deleting apps—it starts with balancing digital input with real-life output. Authentic relationships feed your mental health far more than screens ever can.
