The topic I choose to write about is "How Social Media Negatively
Impacts Our Psychological Well-Being". As you know human beings
are social creatures and we need others to thrive in life. The strength
of our connections can have a huge effect on our psychological well-
being. Social media is bad because it makes it easier to avoid face to
face connections. Also, this makes it harder for people to develop
deeper connections. Social media can make it to where you're seeing
everyone life and it can make you feel like you're not doing enough in
your life.
Social media can lead to a lack of rest and sleep. When you are
scrolling through social media non-stop, you can feel addicted and
stay up late. This can be very detrimental to your life. Social media is
constantly filled with bad news. This can cause you to have
depression and anxiety in addition to many other conditions. There is
news coming into our lives from social media and that can't be health
in some cases.
Social media can lead to cyberbullying and cause you to receive all
types of offensive comments. Social media platforms can be a
hotspot for spreading misinformation, lies, and abuse that can leave
lasting emotional scars. Lastly social media can lead to self-
absorption. Sharing selfies and talking about your innermost thoughts
on social media can create an unhealth self-centeredness and
distance a person from the real word.
