He didn't let me ....... ! . . . . to talk or talk?

As the technology develops rapidly, we have got used to using social medias to connect with other instead of meeting in person. It's very convenient.The better thing is that all the people online seem like perfect. Most of the moments which posted on our social medias are about beautiful girls and handsome boys. They are travelling or cooking tasty food. They smile all the time. This is very different from what we have seen in the past. Many years ago, we had a lot of friends who had bothadvantages and disadvantages. We spent time together doing fun things. We knew each other very well, But everything has changed online. We tend to show others our better side. We are afraid of being known that we are not as good as what we post on social medias. In that case, we lose interest on meeting people in person. We isolate ourselves online. We even can't know which is reality, the world outside or the social medias in our phones?

Is it correct and does it sound natural? Sometimes I want to do something in a perfect way and because of that I don’t do anything. Is it healing? I guess “is it healing” sounds unnatural 😅 give me pls alternative ☺️
