It's not different, it's just worse. Online there are more people, interacting more shallowly (and therefore judging more superficially and less empathetically), and presenting a more fake version of their own self for you to compare yourself to, and we spend more time wading in it. It's always been going on. But it has changed, not in kind, but in degree, and it does more damage.
