I would not say social media is necessarily making us lonelier however it is making us interact in certain ways, make certain expressions and say certain things that cannot be said in a physical encounter. Different type of people exist on social media and it is not difficult to find someone who matches your ideal interaction partner. Said person could be your friend, your therapist, your teacher or Even your lover hence erasing your loneliness. It is also very possible for physical relationships to sprout from online relationships. Social media has also given us a means to communicate with people and express our views and ideologies with them and has given us a common base for conversation.
