What are the Negative Effects of Social Media 

 

Multiple studies have found a strong link between heavy social media and an increased risk for depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm, and even suicidal thoughts. Social media may promote negative experiences such as: Inadequacy about your life or appearance.

More than two thirds (70%) people said social media companies do more harm than good, while only one in five said it is the other way around. That is according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University.

Some other negative effects:

  • Depression and Anxiety. Do you spend several hours per day browsing through social media? ...
  • Cyberbullying.
  • FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) ...
  • Unrealistic Expectations. ...
  • Negative Body Image.
  • Unhealthy Sleep Patterns. ...
  • General Addiction.

Sounds pretty scary hey.
