Feeling anxious or down from too much social media?
Top Replies
You're not alone in feeling this way. Research has shown that social media can contribute to feelings of anxiety and depression. People often compare their own lives to the carefully curated images and stories they see online, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. It's important to remember that what you see on social media isn't always an accurate representation of reality.
One way to cope with these feelings is to limit your time on social media and focus on building real-life connections. Try to engage in activities that make you feel good about yourself and help you connect with others, like joining a club or volunteering. It's also a good idea to practice self-care and mindfulness techniques to help manage your anxiety.
Remember, it's okay to take a break from social media whenever you need to. You don't have to compare yourself to others or feel like you're missing out. Focus on your own goals and aspirations, and remember that everyone moves at their own pace. Take care of yourself and prioritize your mental health.
