Connected But Lonely

Lonely Online — Reconnected Offline

In Connected But Lonely, E. Kyle explores how endless scrolling, “likes,” and digital interactions can leave us feeling more isolated than ever. Drawing on sociological research, psychological studies, and real-life stories, this book uncovers why social media often creates a hollow sense of connection, then offers practical steps to rebuild genuine relationships offline.

Book Synopsis & Key Insights

While smartphones and social platforms promise to bring us closer, many of us scroll past hundreds of updates without forming meaningful bonds. Connected But Lonely examines:

How “endless feeds” trigger dopamine cycles that mimic—but never replace—real human interaction.
Why curated profiles and comparison culture increase anxiety, envy, and self-doubt.
Strategies for setting healthy boundaries: digital detox routines, mindful usage habits, and “phone-free” zones.
Ways to re-engage in face-to-face conversations: active listening, eye contact, and empathy exercises.
Tools for building an offline support network: scheduling in-person meetups, joining local groups, and practicing vulnerability.

By unpacking the mechanics behind push notifications, algorithmic loops, and social validation traps, E. Kyle guides readers to reclaim their time, attention, and authentic connections. Whether you’re overwhelmed by notifications or simply curious about digital well-being, this book offers a roadmap to feel truly seen—and less alone.
