Abstract:
This study comprehensively examines the impact of social media on individuals' lives, addressing both its positive contributions and challenges. Through interviews with diverse participants, we explore social media's influence on daily routines, relationships, and mental well-being. Key objectives include understanding how social media fosters connections, the pressures young people face, its role in learning and personal growth, and efficacy as a platform for advocacy. We delve into social media pressures, including the pressure to portray a perfect life and the culture of comparison, which significantly impact mental health and self-esteem. Research indicates a strong correlation between excessive social media use and mental health issues. Additionally, individuals experience "impression management" and "FOMO," contributing to feelings of loneliness and anxiety. This study sheds light on the complexities of social media's influence, emphasizing the importance of fostering healthier online environments.
Keywords:
