Despite the benefits that social networks offer, overuse can generate a sense of unease, as well as a tendency to isolation, and some other negative emotions.
Every person feels insecure about some matters and does not see an embarrassment in expressing that, while he prefers to conceal some of his other concerns. However, many try to appear in perfect pictures when trying to compare themselves to other people on social media.
But in reality, constantly checking the status of another person on Facebook or the rest of social networks increases the feeling of safety. And that, according to the writer Vasyleva Ekaterina, in a report for her website "FBI Re".
According to a study conducted by the University of Copenhagen, a large number of people among the pioneers of social networks suffer from envy.
Moreover, according to a survey conducted by researchers, people who have abandoned the use of Facebook are considered more satisfied with themselves and their lives compared to other activists on these sites.
His Excellency out of control:
Vasilyeva Ekaterina quoted writer Tim Bono that the ability to feel happy becomes out of our control when we gain confidence based on similarities between us and others.
Generally, reducing the time spent browsing other people's profiles focuses more on special interests and promotes self-confidence.
The author added that social media can distract one from discovering some knowledge from the real world. Indeed, many spend a lot of time trying to capture perfect pictures in interesting places, which distracts them from observing the world and caring for feelings.
Sleep:
The author called for the necessity of making sure to get enough sleep, especially that everyone is accustomed to using smart phones as soon as you wake up and before going to sleep, which affects the quality of sleep and causes insomnia.
The writer quoted by Puno as saying that the feeling of anxiety and envy over the reality of what we see on social networks provokes reactions that strain our brains, making us vulnerable to insomnia.
In addition, light from a mobile phone can interfere with the normal secretion process of the hormone melatonin, which is responsible for feeling tired and that helps sleep. In the meantime, it is best not to log in to social media at least an hour before bedtime.
The author emphasized that the use of social networks without control not only leads to the appearance of mood swings, but also negatively affects mental health, which causes exposure to many diseases, such as anxiety or depression.
