The negative impact of social media can be significant, especially in relation to mental health and self-esteem. It often leads to comparisons with others and can create feelings of inadequacy or dissatisfaction with one's own life. Many people also present a filtered and unrealistic version of their lives on social media, which can contribute to a sense of discontent or the belief that others have perfect lives. This can affect both our emotional well-being and our perception of self-image. Furthermore, excessive use of social media can lead to a lack of genuine human connection and a focus on superficial interactions. It's important to be aware of these effects and take steps to maintain a healthy balance in our social media habits.
