Negative aspect of social media

Since it’s a relatively new technology, there’s little research to establish the long-term consequences, good or bad, of social media use. However, multiple studies have found a strong link between heavy social media and an increased risk for depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm and even suitcase thoughts.

There are some studies on the matter, some negative effects according to these studies are your alteration of the natural reward system, that is, it stimulates your dopamine receptors too strongly for each like or interaction you receive on these platforms, this can lead to you being hooked on social networks and external approval to look for that shot of dopamine and therefore that you dedicate more time to it than you should dedicate it to it.

Another negative aspect would be dissociation from the real world and can lead to lack of communication in the real world or poor communication in the real world.

I do not see any negative aspects of social media. If you overdo, all useful things will have negative aspects. For instance, even the food you eat will create consequences if you overeat. As long as you are using social media to remain informed, to use it for your profession or business, it will be highly beneficial.
