Korean Expat Community for National Disasters

You have hundreds of followers. Your stories get views, maybe even a few hearts and comments. But still—you feel alone.

Isn’t social media supposed to connect us?

On the surface, it seems like we’re more connected than ever. One post can travel the world in seconds. We can scroll, share, and react around the clock. But here’s the catch: while we’re always “online,” we’re rarely present. Conversations become quick. Validation becomes digital. And loneliness? It hides behind filters and perfectly captioned smiles.

We post to feel seen… but end up feeling invisible.

So, are we truly connected—or just digitally distracted?

Real connection lives in eye contact, unfiltered laughs, long talks, and quiet presence. It’s found in moments where no camera is watching, and no algorithm decides our worth.

Maybe social media isn’t the problem. Maybe it’s just a mirror. A tool. The real question is:
Are we using it to connect—or to escape?

Because in the end, a message can’t replace a hug. And a double-tap can’t replace being deeply understood.

So… who are you really connecting with?
