Are We Becoming More Connected — or Just More Visible? | Sindy

We share more than ever — our thoughts, our photos, our lives in real time. But does being seen actually bring us closer?

 

In this short spoken-word reflection, Sindy questions whether constant sharing creates genuine connection or simply increases visibility. Recognition, reactions, and followers can give the illusion of closeness, even when real understanding is missing.

 

This isn’t about rejecting connection. It’s about asking whether visibility and connection are really the same thing.

 

SCRIPT:

 

We’re more connected than ever.

Or at least… that’s what we’re told.

 

We share our thoughts.

Our photos.

Our lives — in real time.

 

But sometimes I wonder if being seen is the same thing as being known.

 

Visibility can create the illusion of closeness.

People recognize us, react to us, follow us…

without actually understanding who we are.

 

Connection takes time.

Presence.

Attention.

 

So maybe the real question is…

 

are we actually becoming more connected —

or are we just getting better at being visible?
