It is not a secret that social media is projecting negative effects upon the users. What are these effects? What is FOMO? How to identify the negative effects? How to reduce them?
MedineNewsToday is giving some useful tips for everyday users.
“Social media use can lead to low quality sleep and harm mental health. It has associations with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.”
Article done by MedicalNewsToday is telling about the downsides of social media. The article goes into detail about reasons for negative effects supported by the different research, touches upon the subject of FOMO syndrome (Fear Of Missing Out), as well gives some suggestions on how to reduce and lower the consequences of negative effects caused by the overuse of social media nowadays.
This article is spreading awareness among the active users of SM, but it also prompts those effects of social media can touch upon EVERY user of social media, even celebrities. This could be supported by the post that was mentioned earlier in my blog by supermodel Bella Hadid.
The good idea to keep in mind after reading this article is that the famous people on social media can be struggling, because of the negative effects of social media as well as you might be, but again they are keeping it all in the ‘backstage’, so the subs would see the unrealistic and perfect picture of mental health and state of them.
Is it right for celebrities to hide such aspects of their persona or is it wrong?
What consequences of using SM you are experiencing personally and maybe you have even better tips on how to overcome this for you and other users?
Take care and stay aware <3
