Heavy social media use could be masking other underlying problems, such
as stress, depression, or boredom.
To cope up with uncomfortable situations.
Excessive social media use can create a negative, self-perpetuating
cycle:
1.Lonely, depressed, anxious, or stressed ----use social media more
often—as a way to relieve boredom or feel connected to others.
2.More use of social media ---increased FOMO and feelings of
inadequacy, dissatisfaction, and isolation.
3.In turn, these feelings negatively affect your mood and worsen
symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.
4.These worsening symptoms cause you to use social media even
more, and so the downward spiral continues.
