“We live in a world of ghosts. We are all half present for most of our day. I constantly catch myself walking while looking at an iPhone. When I drive to work in the morning, I find myself lost in thought or needing the noise of the radio or an audiobook. We sit in a room of people that we love, while we all live in a half-present, hypnotized state of social media consciousness.” Social MediaSocial Media AddictionNote To SelfPresence QuotesA World Of GhostsHalf PresentIphone AddictionPaying Attention To Your PresentScreen Addiction Author:Eric Overby
“It seems that we are distracted because we are always in search of something better. We always want to see a different place or a different person’s life, as ours passes us by. We don’t pay attention to our own lives, therefore we want someone else’s. In a way, this is the definition of our social media feed. I want your life; please ‘like’ mine and tell me that it’s good enough. The thing is, most of us live the life that we are searching for. We just aren’t aware enough to see it. We are half present, therefore half appreciative, and our relationships suffer because of it.” Something NewSocial Media QuotesLooking For LoveNote To SelfSearching For HappinessYou Are EnoughDiscontentmentScrollingA World Of GhostsInstagram And Facebook Quotes Author:Eric Overby
