I think Social Networking can make you feel more isolated. I dread the family christmas pics, and of the kids first day back at school, and at the moment I'm getting more and more wound up over holiday pics. I would love to go on a family holiday, or take pics of my boys in fresh school uniforms, or videos of them opening presents on christmas morning, but I can't and it makes me feel even more alienated, like I don't fit in this world and makes me wanna retreat even more.
