A psychological state in which people feel isolated or disconnected from society or their surroundings due to excessive use of digital technology leads to feelings of isolation and a refusal to interact directly with others, making it difficult to build real, sustainable relationships. As a result of this feeling, people may experience decreased emotional connection and increased dependence on virtual relationships, which can be associated with an over-reliance on smart devices or immersion in alternative digital worlds, which negatively affects mental health in the long run.
