I don’t see how social media changes this. Life is filled with people who don’t reach out first. It’s not like instagram changes them. The number of direct, meaningful messages between you and them is probably the same, independent of the platform.

Social media facilitates indirect interaction (seeing posts from one another) but it won’t make “Han shoot first” more often.

Stated another way: if you long for others to make first contact with you, social media won’t scratch that itch.
