If I'm a secure person, my online persona is going to be pretty similar to the person that I am. If I'm insecure, my online persona is probably very different from who I am in real life.

We miss extra bits of knowledge that can add value to our lives. We sort of lack empathy because we're multitasking all the time.

We're all not exactly the same person online that we are in real life. I am not as happy as my Instagram makes me look. We are all heightening the positives and downplaying the negatives.

We get one of these little pings on our smartphones, and we get a little hit of dopamine as well. We get excited. We feel anticipation. As we feel this, we want it more and more. So we spend more and more time looking at our phones.

I wouldn't say anyone is 100% honest online. I don't see how it's even possible.

One of the things that makes a social-media cleanse so difficult is that every time we log on, every notification we get is an addictive substance. It's just like any drug.

It becomes very difficult for us to adjust to a world without social media because we spend so much time involved with it.
