Feeling like you always need to be connected, using things such as likes to measure yourself or your relationships to other people.

Feeling like you always have to respond, always have to be available for other people (don't get me wrong I do this).

Feeling a lack of boundaries because we share everything with each other, or pressure to keep up an appearance based on what I see others posting.

oversharing: sharing personal feelings, information, or experiences that later make someone feel uncomfortable or regretful
