Doctor Explains ShOCKING Social Media Neuroscience!

[mamamichellegist]

the absolute irony of me watching this on social media right now
*laughs in mild anxiety*

[faveese]

When I feel Stress or Anxiety, I try to pinpoint the cause. It's usually something I've consumed on the internet. "You are What You Eat" ... Mentally, Physically, Spiritual & Emotionally. Be careful, Everything in moderation.

As an autistic with sensory processing disorder...I would LOVE to have that filter!

[Helmet_enthusiast]

Exactly! That’s why I usually try to make my recommendations on YouTube things I enjoy or something positive that makes me laugh, I’ll have a sobering dose of real life here and there to make sure I’m balanced but I’m having fun!

Am I the only one who trusts this doc the most ???! Broooo he's second to none 😭😭😭

The fact that I get Dr Karan for free is… *chef’s kiss*
We love free knowledge

i'm autistic and i can say that while we still have some sort of mental filter, it's way less efficient than a neurotypical person's. sensory issues come from basically not being able to fine tune the input coming into our brain, like how most people can focus on one conversation in a crowded room while autistic people really struggle. i'm pretty sure this is one of the reasons a lot of us have great memory or are really observant. it's a blessing and a curse, but unfortunately usually it's more of a curse. just existing is so tiring when you can't ignore things like how your clothes feel, how the light is shining and even how the electricity sounds in the wiring in the walls.

Which helps explain why my nightmares are bits and pieces of things I've read and seen during the day. Makes for some crazy dreams.

You know the reason why I'm still sticking to YouTube instead of any social media out there (mainly tiktok) is because I know that once I watch one of them content I will get hooked up in there and watch straight 4 hours of 60 second short video without realizing I watch them for 4 hours and I have experienced that once when I downloaded tiktok for the first time, it was so bad that I stayed up all night watching them and messing up my sleep schedule. Now YouTube start these darn shorts that also started to make me addicted to this and is growing onto me. ~Me typing this on yt shorts.

This is actually a really helpful wake-up call 😅 I definitely spend too much time on social media, as a distraction from my chronic pain.

However, I keep struggling these days with low mood and actually being present. This has given me food for thought 🤔

[cobeylynch]

This is cool. I had always wondered why i feel so uneasy when scrolling through shorts for a few hours too long

[Levouni]

I use social media, art and gaming to keep my mind off of the anxiety i have when going to sleep. Darkness scares me and the thought of something hiding within the dark has always kept me awake and left in tears.

This post made me go meditate. This is so important overwhelming our subconscious with too much information must be so inflammatory to us

[MrFirebomb]

I won’t diagnose myself with what I’m not already diagnosed with but I already knew with my mother and fathers past and some of my own issues that I had this issue. I wonder if this kinda goes along with paranoia of things that we find skeptical but have no evidence of to be reasonably paranoid or skeptical to begin with… if that makes sense.

[salemlynn]

I liken it to the empty exhausted feeling you get leaving a movie theater
Media weather you enjoy it or not is stressful, happy to say I’m ditching the phone soon again ❤

This is why I almost always only watch educational things and people playing games. It's fun to learn casually and it's fun to watch the games, but neither are stressful because they're easy to stop watching. Oh and comedy is a stress reliever for me.

[AvAverage]

This is why I follow you, at least you give good information

[solala]

I love these filters, I wish I could turn them on more and not be as vigilant.

[MrXaniss]

Well. I'm autistic with heightened senses, it is NOT a fun time. Crowds are the WORST, can hear so many conversations IN DETAIL at once.
