Lack of self-esteem is often a result of comparing ourselves to others. We use social media to project our life as perfect and curated, which can make us feel like we’re not good enough. This is especially true if we start following those with lives that seem perfect, leaving us feeling inadequate and ugly.
4) Fear of Missing Out
FOMO is a very real problem for anyone that spends hours scrolling through their social media feeds. FOMO is the fear of missing out on something or someone, and can often lead to depression, anxiety, and isolation from the physical world. Spending your day glued to a screen means you’re not making memories or building a foundation with your loved ones in the way you need to. Imagine how happy you will be once you decide to shut down your social ideas at least an hour before bedtime each night.
