You communicate with a lot of people, but it's all very superficial and impersonal - it's easy to neglect meaningful, one-on-one interactions with people if you spend too much time on Twitter & Facebook. You feel like you've already done lots of socializing, but you never really connected with anyone in a way that matters. Beyond neglecting your dreams, it's easy to neglect your relationships, even though you might feel that you've been giving people more attention.
