Humans simply didn't evolve to live in communities as large as the ones which enabled us to really push our foot on the gas in terms of technological and civilization progress. People look at social media but it started waaay earlier, back in old Mesopotamia. Mesopotamic Urbanization>Ability to write>Journals>Newspapers>Radio>TV>Internet>Social Media Social media is just the last step in the process. Each and every step of the process contributed to make humans learn about how many humans are there in the world and this somehow makes us feel less special. When we wrap our minds around how many humans are there in the world, we feel insignificant and we feel like we don't matter at all. In a sense our sense of worth feels diluted by the immense quanity of people who are just like us. This creates anxiety and resentment. Our brain is still the same as we had back in pre-Mesopotamic eras.
