When people can't scroll and post as they usually do, Kerner said they can become bored and vulnerable to difficult emotions and stressors -- sometimes without knowing how to cope with them. "People find that they are alone with their own thoughts. And they're a little bit of a stranger to themselves in a way. Prior to social media, I think we were much better at being on our own, finding ways to engage ourselves, and remain curious," Kerner added. Once people realized, 'oh, these networks are almost all down,' there was this bizarre, but very clear sense of relief. The feeling was 'I don't have anything I have to keep up with. I'm not missing out on anything,'" Duffy told CNN. During the outage, "people realized in real-time the importance of face-to-face relationships, and the relative emptiness of a connection that takes place solely via Facebook or Instagram," he added. Clients that expressed relief during the outage took concrete steps to connect with others in real life, Duffy said. "One took a friend out for coffee. Another took a walk with a friend," he said. Some have come away from the experience with the realization that their fear of missing out was unjustified, and they could approach the apps with more moderation. "I think some of us realized yesterday, 'I'm way over-involved and invested in social media in my life," Duffy said. People realized that "maybe I can check this once or twice a day instead of 20 or 30 times a day. But if some of us felt relieved when social networking apps went quiet for a while, why is it difficult to stop checking our feeds so frequently? Dr. Anna Lembke, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University, and the Medical Director of Addiction Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine looked at the brain for answers. All the experts CNN connected with emphasized how social networking tools have many positive effects on society, allowing people to stay connected to distant loved ones and helping them fare better emotionally during a long, exhausting, isolating pandemic.
