How does Erich Fromm's work relate to social media addiction?
My analyses of conformity and the escape from freedom resonate with the allure of social media. The constant validation, the curated self-presentation, and the passive consumption of information can provide a temporary escape from the anxieties of real connection and self-determination. This can lead to a superficial sense of belonging while deepening underlying alienation and a loss of genuine selfhood.
