6-1 Discussion: Social Media Negatively Impacts Psychological Well-
Being
My stance on this subject is that I believe social media negatively
impacts Psychology well-being. It keeps your attention focused on
what’s happening on Fantasy Island (Facebook, IG, etc) rather than
the real world of our lives. My own life is an example of why I can say
that social media negatively impacts our lives. It is a bit persuasive
and can have folks mad at one another and they don’t know each
other personally. Emotionally led individuals who spend half of their
day on social media is mentally destructive and will make decisions
based on what they have digested. It eventually will become
depressing. If social media is going to be a routine for daily living, self
care must be equally important. Taking the time to detach from it will
be beneficial in having balance. I gave up social media back in 2018.
