Swipe Right, Scroll Left: The Social Media Relationship Paradox - Part 4
The digital revolution promised to bring us closer together, but has it actually driven us further apart? In this thought-provoking episode, we examine the complicated relationship between social media and our romantic connections, friendships, and family bonds.
We start by acknowledging the genuine benefits that platforms like Facebook and Instagram bring to our relationships - the ability to stay connected with distant friends, reconnect with old classmates, and communicate thoughtfully during disagreements. Clinical psychologist Margaret Morris's research reveals how technology can strengthen partnerships when used intentionally, giving people space to process emotions before responding.
But there's a darker side to our digital dependencies. A startling 59% of young adults report that prolonged social media use has damaged their relationships. We explore how the psychological distance of online communication creates troubling patterns - from neighborhood Facebook arguments to passive-aggressive texting during conflicts with partners. Most concerning is how these behaviors erode our ability to handle face-to-face disagreements constructively.
Perhaps most revealing is our discussion about "phubbing" - the increasingly common practice of ignoring someone in favor of a mobile device. How many of us have sat beside our partner on the couch, both lost in separate digital worlds? The impact on intimacy is profound, creating emotional distance even when physically together.
This episode is just the beginning of our exploration. Join us next time as we dive deeper into practical strategies for maintaining meaningful connections in the digital age. Until then, remember: your relationships deserve more than a status update.

Announcer: 5:15
That's how winning is done.
Matt Fox: 5:17
Oh boy.
David Wright: 5:18
Yeah, so this comes from Great Britain. Okay, this comes from Great Britain. Okay, a British grocery store delivery driver saved a woman's life after she didn't answer the door and he got the feeling that something was wrong. Wasn't the King of the Britons? Leonardo this name's tough, forgive me Leonardo Pinto Dantas? Okay, since there was a problem, and decided to go back for another look in the window and only then spotted her lying unconscious on the floor.
David Wright: 5:52
Oh boy, it was around 9 pm in the coastal town of Poole in southern England when the driver for an Asda store arrived at his next delivery. Everything seemed normal, said the 36-year-old driver. The light was on, the TV was on. I knocked on the door but didn't get an answer. So I called the contact number we had for the delivery but got no reply. I thought at first they must have gone out. So I looked in the window, but no one was coming. He turned to go, but something didn't feel right. Okay, the sixth sense no one was coming. He turned to go, but something didn't feel right. Okay, the sixth quote I believe god made me go back to the window. I pushed some branches away so I could get a better look, and that's when I saw the lady face down on the floor. Wow, thank god she was on the floor. If she were just sitting there, right, you might have got. He might have been arrested. She's sleeping Peeping in Leandro.
Matt Fox: 6:46
Leonardo.
David Wright: 6:47
It's actually Leandro.
Matt Fox: 6:48
Leandro.
David Wright: 6:49
Yeah, that's why I said I'm going to have a tough time with the name.
Matt Fox: 6:51
It is Leandro. So Leandro, the non-peeping Tom, the people. Yeah, but she was on the floor face down. Yes, yes.
David Wright: 6:58
He quickly called for an ambulance and the paramedics were soon on the scene and gave the diabetic woman some glucose to raise her blood sugar. Oh yeah, leandro wasn't even scheduled to work that night but he swapped shifts with another driver last minute. I think it was fate that I was called there that day. Leandro told SWNS News Agency. I'm just happy that I was there and saved her While she was being examined by emergency workers. Leandro put the lady's groceries away. I was there and saved her While she was being examined by emergency workers. Leandro put the lady's groceries away. A few days later he visited her home to see how she was doing and brought her some flowers. That's so nice of him.
David Wright: 7:34
The woman in her 60s was taken to the hospital with low blood pressure but was discharged the next day Tears but the flesh wounds. She was so grateful to Leandro that she wrote a letter to the local newspaper, the Borner Borner, now daily echo, to thank him. Okay, leandro is such a wonderful chap. She said. I can't thank him enough. Chap, I love that word. He had a. He did a marvelous job, certainly going above and beyond what I would expect a supermarket delivery driver to do, peeping in your windows. He even came around later with flowers for me. Well, he peeped. He probably thought he owed her flowers, right.
Announcer: 8:15
Take her out for dinner Maybe flowers and chocolates, I don't know. Take her out for dinner first.
David Wright: 8:19
The delivery driver has now been nominated for an ASDA Service Superstar Award. The delivery driver has now been nominated for an ASDA Service Superstar Award. We are so very proud of the way he handled the delivery, said Heidi Mallinson, the store's online trading manager, and his instinct that something was amiss. He is truly a hero and went totally above and beyond, which, in turn, probably saved this customer's life. Oh, absolutely. So yeah to Leandro and the woman.
Matt Fox: 8:44
Yeah probably didn't give a name, did they?
David Wright: 8:47
they did not 60 year old. Yeah, diabetic 60 year old woman so well anyway, still good story. I I like, like he said he was, he knew something was up right.
Matt Fox: 8:59
He just felt it. He trusted his instincts, he had a gut feeling and he got feeling and followed it good and went peeping and saved a woman.
David Wright: 9:08
What in blazes are you talking about? Well, he was looking in the windows. I mean clearing brush aside. I mean it's a good thing his neighbors didn't see him.
Matt Fox: 9:16
Hey, dave, yeah.
Announcer: 9:19
You want to see something really scary Boy that escalated quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast.
David Wright: 9:30
That was a great story, leandro. The the driver saves the woman. Yeah, definitely winner of the week. That's how winning is done.
Announcer: 9:43
Yes, it is. That's one of my always a nice story.
David Wright: 9:45
That's one of my always a nice story.
Matt Fox: 9:47
That's one of my all time favorite movies. Yeah, twilight Zone yeah.
David Wright: 9:51
Yeah, john Lithgow.
Matt Fox: 9:53
Uh huh, yeah. The recreation from the Shatner yes, the plane one yes.
David Wright: 9:58
Yes.
Matt Fox: 9:58
Uh huh, did you hear that? That Mr Shatner decided to come out with a pair of like a brand of jeans? Did you hear about this? Oh no, but they just couldn't get past the marketing of shatner pants no, no don't shut me up it's quite pungent, stings the nostrils did you hear that or?
David Wright: 10:27
did you come up with that? I? I saw that as I was on my Facebook feed somewhere and it just popped into my head. Well, actually bringing up Facebook, so back to it. Yeah, so today we're talking about social media. That was a great segue, matt.
Matt Fox: 10:40
You're welcome.
David Wright: 10:41
Even if it was not intentional, it's great. I love it. So our last couple of episodes we were talking about social media as a whole and how it influences mental health. One of the sections in the shows that we did that we didn't quite cover or didn't quite get to was specifically social media and relationships. So Matt had a great idea. I say why don't we spend a specific episode or two on that? Because that one this gets really in-depth.
Matt Fox: 11:07
Everyone's a while. Every once in a while I get a good idea.
David Wright: 11:09
No, you get a good idea. You're not. You know you're not totally worthless. Thanks.
Matt Fox: 11:16
No no it's great.
David Wright: 11:17
No, it was a great great call on that, Matt and I, I totally. As soon as you said it, I'm like perfect, all right, here we go. So. So on relationships, good and bad, so we're going to start with the good. Um, here's the thing, that one thing that social media helps us do is connect with people. Yes, before this, before social media, if you wanted to talk to somebody you had to call them on the phone. No, it was MySpace and talk to them. Yeah, yeah, even before MySpace.
Matt Fox: 11:56
Right. So when you were a child, yes, yes, and you would call your friend at their house and you'd have to use the rotary phone. Right, and you'd get their parent, but not just their parent, their dad. Their dad would answer the phone. Yes, and it would be little. You can, tommy, come out to play Right? Or now you're a teenager Again. You're calling, not not a friend who is a boy, but now a young lady, and you want to talk to them and their dad gets on the phone, dad answers yes, yeah.
David Wright: 12:29
Dad answers yes, yeah.
Matt Fox: 12:33
So it's so available. So a close friend of mine, I would call his house, you know cause he didn't have a cell phone and his father would answer. But his father, great guy. But he sounds just like James Earl Jones with the deep voice Hello. And you're like, oh my God, it's Darth Vader and I'm frightened of you. That's awesome.
David Wright: 12:57
Okay, Let me connect another, just quick story. So you know, I met my wife gosh 34 years ago. It's been a long time, but at the time there were no cell phones Right and I would have to call her house. Yeah, Her mom and her Kendra and her mother sound exactly the same, Exactly the same on the phone.
David Wright: 13:17
Oh boy, and I did say something one time what's up, sexy pants, something to that effect. And the answer was this is the mother. I'd apologize Profusely. I would imagine yeah, it was, it was. Uh, yeah, it was, it was funny. But you know it was funny, haha. Yeah, but now it's funny now. Now it's funny, we laugh about it now but, at the time I was mortified.
David Wright: 13:42
so, yeah it. Social media helps boost connectivity. People that you may not have been ever in contact with you can be in contact with now. Now again, there's a fine line here with Facebook, instagram, all of these social media platforms, you can communicate with other people, yes, easily. You can send messages, you can comment on their activities, so this kind of helps people stay in touch with people they might not have done before, sure, but because it's convenient, it just makes it easier, like, for example, friends from high school. Typically, what happens? I just went to my 30th reunion last october, wow, and you know again.
David Wright: 14:24
Oh, are you on facebook or on instagram?
David Wright: 14:26
yeah, okay, yeah then connect, I'll find you Then you follow you, yeah, so it is a lot easier to kind of connect to people. The other thing it does is it helps improve communication. Now, it might not be the communication that we typically like as far as talking one-on-one with somebody in person, but there's a Margaret Morris, who's a PhD. She's a clinical psychologist and she authored a book Left Our Own Devices Outsmarting Smart Technology to Reclaim Our Relationships, health and Focus. It's quite a big book title, a little bit.
David Wright: 15:05
She conducted a 2020 study and it showed how various people in relationship use technology and she said that that this technology could bring value to a, a friendship or even a partnership. So she discussed the benefits of various type of technology. For example, there's one that she gave was a parent sharing a self-help app with their child to work through an argument Right, or discussing romantic relationships, she says. She highlights how sharing images via social media can feel like an extra way to communicate with somebody you might be in a romantic relationship with. The other thing that it does, and this is I know this sounds a little bit wimpy, but it also allows a person the time and space to formulate the right words if there's any sort of disagreement, so you don't say something stupid in the heat of the moment. So social media does allow you to take a step back and pause before you do something stupid. Right? That is a benefit. The other thing that studies have shown.
Matt Fox: 16:28
A 2019 study found that social media might actually help sexual gratification.
David Wright: 16:32
Okay, why would that be? This study was specifically focused on pornography consumption in the volunteer group. The 379 participants and the person who did the study said that it could be a bonus or could be a help to a relationship, a sexual relationship, but it's also one of those things that it can go too far. Sure, and this is a tough one, because it's kind of like, where's that line where too much is? A little bit might get you excited and might help your relationships, especially if it's done together, but too much on your own can sabotage your relationship. So the reason I kind of brought this one up because we're going from positive to negative, but this one, I think, sits right in the middle of it. It's a gray area. It is and we'll get into specifics on that a little bit later Okay, okay, so.
David Wright: 17:28
So these are the positive things connectivity, you know, being able to communicate more effectively if you take the time to do it, and it allows you to be in contact with more people than you typically would without social media, without it at all. We're going to get to the negatives, but but one of the things that I've seen, especially with clients, is that there, there, there can be too much time on social media. Oh, absolutely. Just like anything else, just like tv, just like anything that you would, you would spend time doing so. So I'm, I'm I haven't even gotten into the negatives yet, but in my head I'm thinking about clients that I work with, and a lot of them spend all of their time on social media when they're have the person sitting right next to them.
David Wright: 18:17
Yeah, like like a husband and wife. Let's say they'll be sitting on the couch and both people are on their phones the whole time.
Matt Fox: 18:23
Yeah, I've seen, I've.
David Wright: 18:24
I've been a privy to that and a lot of us have. Maybe we have partners who may do that, maybe we do that, maybe we're guilty of that ourselves, but it is easy to kind of get cut off in your day-to-day stuff, being online too much. So when we get to negatives, I'm sure that will be addressed as we go forward on that. Okay, so let's start with the negatives. So here's the big problem and kind of the whole thing as far as research goes Substituting social media interactions, substituting it instead of doing face-to-face.
David Wright: 19:03
It's going to affect your current relationships, but it's also going to prevent you from making good, solid relationships. Additional relationships Okay, you for making good, solid relationships. Additional relationships okay. Meaning you're not quite up to snuff. Being in social situations face to face ah, got it because you're only on social media, so that can. It's going to affect your ability to even be social when you're, when you have to be out. Um, there is a, so so there is, there's, there's a. There's also a another view that comes into this about people with social anxiety that they are able to socialize online but they can't do it in person it's.
Matt Fox: 19:48
it's definitely a an it's a problem.
David Wright: 19:52
And I'm not saying that that's a bad. It's not a bad thing to be able to communicate with people. However, because that is the easier option, you're never going to push yourself to kind of get over that anxiety or to kind of test the waters, so to speak.
Matt Fox: 20:07
Sure, With face-to-face communications. That's why people can. They're online and they're kibitzing and they're complaining or they're arguing with somebody online and they're saying there's no repercussions here. They don't know who I am. No right.
David Wright: 20:20
Not well, and that gets in yeah, and we're going to get into that too as far as the anonymity that social media oftentimes requires. So, yeah, if you're not making in-person connections or relationships with people, that that social media is only going to take you so far, because it is just words, it is somebody live, interacting with you, um, but it's gonna. It's gonna affect your ability to make and maintain friendships long term. That is the. There was also a 2021 study that found that 59% of the people studied reported a prolonged use of social media had negatively affected their social interactions and their family relationships. So again, that's an acknowledgement Vast majority, 60%. So you know, not quite three quarters, but why did you black me? I'm your mother, I know well, seeing that, you know that that happens too.
David Wright: 21:19
Yeah, um, and that study just just parent, parenthetically. That study was, uh, students ages 17 to 29, oof. Yeah, so that's kind of that right now. That's right in that age range where that's all there is.
Matt Fox: 21:37
That's real, that's it.
David Wright: 21:38
Yeah, the other thing that happens over time is that the excessive social media use can negatively impact your quality time, like quality time either with hobbies or with your children, or with your partner or with your parents, so it just reduces the amount of effort you have to put out in real life if it's all focused on the device or the tablet or the computer or your phone, yes.
David Wright: 22:13
So the other thing that happens too, and we're going to again. I told we get into specifics here, because the thing that you had mentioned earlier, matt, is just people just being isolated. I think there's a site, I don't remember the exact anonymity, anonymity when you're online. Yeah, so what also happens?
Matt Fox: 22:29
and this is.
David Wright: 22:30
This is a big thing that that happens and you can see it. I mean I. I. Right now is the perfect time in history to see this online. Oh, absolutely that.
David Wright: 22:41
People just attack each other back and forth and there's no consequence have you heard of uh have you heard of, I heard of maga, right, well, yeah, I'm just saying that with a political divide, there's definitely a division. There's also a huge. It can even be just on. I'll give you an example Matt, so I'm in a community group for our subdivision. Oh, okay, so it's all the people that live in our subdivision because it's an association, so they have a Facebook page. Sure, I can't tell you how many times there's these like just little arguments going back and forth and it's like there are three doors down. Yeah, go talk to them, yeah.
Matt Fox: 23:23
Do you know what I mean? Yeah, what were those two families back in the old time?
David Wright: 23:27
Thank you, yes, yeah, but, but again, that's a good example where all of these people are in walking distance. Yeah, you could talk to any one of them, but and I see in this group sometimes, but there's no really anima and amen and amen.
David Wright: 23:43
There's none of that but there is the psychological component of this anonymity yes that, even if your name's attached to it, you feel like, if you're typing it and hitting send, it's a lot easier to do that than to be to confront somebody face to face. They don't like confrontation. Exactly, it's passive, aggressive, very. And this habit spills over into real life, where now, okay, you just told somebody off online because they didn't agree with you about something, right, but now you have a disagreement with your spouse. How do you handle that? Hold on, let me text that.
David Wright: 24:19
What's your Facebook? So it takes people's ability away to resolve conflict because they're so used to just saying what they want to say online, without the repercussions.
Matt Fox: 24:31
This isn't really tmi, but my ex, when they would get upset yeah, it was always text. Oh well, it was. It was just a rant and just this texting nightmare. Of question after question after question. I I ignored them because I, I'll, I'm working, I'll, I'll talk, I'll deal with that when I get home. And then, of course, didn't want to talk.
David Wright: 24:55
Of course, yeah, but again, that's kind of this I don't want to call it a trap, but it is kind of that social media has given us is that, yeah, it's easier to be confrontational and mean online? Sure, you would never do it face to face, because you don't might punch in the face. I mean, I'm saying you're not wrong, you, you don't have to, you don't have to experience the real world consequences. Now we have seen that happen. There are some exceptions to that, where people have said or posted things online and then you, then you go back and see, oh, they were fired from their job, yeah, because they made a racist slur or a homophobic something, or, or a sexual thing, or a sexual thing, yep, yep. Or they were a elementary school teacher, exactly, exactly, so, so, so that there's, there's, there is this kind of I don't even know what to call it, because it is morphing into this, and this is the world we live in. So we can't just ignore it and just say, oh, let's just get rid of it.
Matt Fox: 25:55
So let me ask you the question, Dave would you have the job you have today if cell phones, social media were around? Who were in your early twenties, let's say, and the stuff you got up to?
David Wright: 26:14
Yeah, I think I still would. Okay, yeah, so you were a good boy. I mean, I didn't do anything that crazy. Well, here's the thing that's what I'm trying to, as I say to every client that I meet, everybody's effed up in some way or another.
Matt Fox: 26:25
Yes, but what I'm getting at is yeah I.
David Wright: 26:28
I would have never had anything that I would have had to say oh my God, I never should have said that or done that Right.
Matt Fox: 26:33
Now.
David Wright: 26:33
I'm not saying I didn't do stupid things in my life. I mean, I can tell you and believe me, folks, this is not something to brag about, but when I was in, when I was college, I mean times I drove drunk. Yeah, it's just stupid. And I can look back on it now and just think what was I?
Matt Fox: 26:50
thinking.
David Wright: 26:51
So dumb dumb. But again, I was 17 years old when I started college Sure.
Matt Fox: 26:56
I mean that's not an excuse, but I'm just saying, but my point that I'm getting to is with the amount of cameras that are at us on a constant basis and you're out in public and everyone's got a phone and if something happens, you people are calling each other out.
David Wright: 27:13
They're just like hey, I'm going to record this because I'm a human being.
Matt Fox: 27:17
I don't care about this other person, I'm just going to record them and watch it all happen. Right yeah, and that's a huge problem with social media.
David Wright: 27:24
Well, there is a phenomenon of just not doing the right thing because you want to capture it all Right, like not intervening. Like, if not doing the right thing because you want to capture it, all Right, like not intervening, like if an old woman's getting robbed, sure, and somebody just stands there with their phone and records it and doesn't do anything. Right. But that's part of this.
