— -- A comedian's video shows just how awkward our social media behavior is when taken literally and acted out in person.

“If you approach someone on the train and say, ‘I’m following you,’ it’s pretty off-putting,” said Jena Kingsley, comedian and creator of the video. “It’s funny to see what’s going on behind a computer except now you’re seeing it in front of you.”

The video was done in collaboration with company Relationship Science and its app, MINE.
