The “likes,” “comments,” and “retweets” received on social media often give people a false sense of companionship.

They feel like they have hundreds of friends, but when they need friends the most,

the computer screen provides an echo of loneliness and frustration. Social media has positive elements,

but if relied on as your sole source of interaction with people, I guarantee you’ll find yourself feeling emptier than ever.

That’s why I challenge you to place a priority on face-to-face interaction with family and friends,

value self-disclosure with trusted people, and above all, put your phone down when you are with others.

People deserve your undivided attention. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
