Social media has given us the tools to easily connect and reconnect with people. And with all these connections, we are able to share our thoughts, experiences, life moments, and emotions with just the touch of a button. It has also changed how we look at phones and use them.
Several studies have looked at the psychology of social media. The addictive nature of social media can have a negative impact on a user's mental health leading to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. A lot of us use it to assess our worth by comparing ourselves to others leading to feelings of insecurity. It is not uncommon for people to use the platform to share their happy and braggy moments causing envy and sometimes self-doubt among people who follow them.
Anonymity and virtual distance can embolden individuals to engage in online harassment, cyberbullying, and trolling which, some people say, has become a very effective tool in Philippine politics. It is also believed that its excessive use can hinder face-to-face interactions leading to lessened social skills and deeper feelings of loneliness and isolation. It may also contribute to more misunderstandings and conflicts because online communications lack verbal cues.
