Addiction
Anything in excess is not good, including social media. It can be more addictive than cigarettes and alcohol. It has a powerful magnet for many people that leads to them checking it all the time without even thinking about it.
Expectations
Seeing the success, achievements, and all the advantages that other people have. Social media forms unrealistic expectations of life and friendships in our minds. Many use it as motivation, but many also feel insecure or inferior to themselves.
Consumptive Behavior
Using social media unwisely also leads to consumptive and wasteful behavior. In social media, we can easily find various interesting items that we want to have, so it doesn't matter whether we really need them, we are tempted to buy them.
Affect Mental Health
Spending too long on social networking sites: could lead to poor mental health. Social media lets you see the carefully selected best parts of everyone else's lives, which you then compare to the negatives in your own life. Anxiety and insecurity are the most mental health problem caused by social media.
Conflict and Bullying
Sometimes, social media becomes a place of hatred and criticism of someone. These online attacks often leave deep mental scars and even drive people to hurt themselves or take their own lives, in some cases. In social media, we are free to express our feelings but you have to pay attention to the existing limitations.
