Fuck this study.

I dunno, I buy it.

Makes sense to me.

I say this, because I believe that your experience on the internet depends on how you let it affect you, kind of like any real social interaction, except with a computer.

As opposed to this just saying “spending a shitload of time on the internet makes you depressed because no one likes you in real life”.

I’m just gonna say, I don’t think that using the internet a lot makes you depressed. However, I’m betting that many people that are depressed use the internet a lot.

I’d say yes, everyone’s internet experience is what they make of it.  That said, online interactions replacing actual face time seems like the bigger issue than just using the internet too much, and I can see it contributing to depression depending on the person.
