The Addiction to Connection (ft Aidan Bissett)

28 Jul 2025

Description

Is it just me or does it feel like EVERYONE’s love life is a disaster these days?Situationships. Talking stages. Low-effort texting. Going back to your ex…It’s like we’d rather stay stuck in something we KNOW is bad for us than risk being alone. Why? Because connection—even when it’s toxic—is still connection. And we are addicted to it. The dopamine rush of attention. The illusion of intimacy. The validation of being chosen—even if it’s only temporarily.We crave the high of a connection more than the health and consistency of that connection.So we go back. Even when we know better...So how did we become addicted to connection? And how can we break that spell? Well what better guest to have than @Aidan Bissett ⁨who just put out an entire album exploring this exact topic.You may know him from songs like More Than Friends, Tripping Over Air, and Ultraviolet– but “shut up and love me” goes much deeper into these feelings of heartbreak and our addiction to connection…#aidanbissett #indiemusic #heartbreaksong #epidemicofloneliness
