The questions, are online connections actually social? Maybe more nuanced definitions are needed in the future. A big part of the benefits of social interactions is the physical parts that show positive benefits for health, like touch, hug,... when one gets hypersocial it is missing a set of dimensions that ordinary old school social interactions come along with.
