Abstract

He is only 21 and has 5000 friends, already travelled so many places. What am I doing, nothing? My life is so poor! 100 likes, 5 shares, 15 comments nice! Do I like this photo? Does he really need more likes? Did he ever like any of my photos? Social media that was supposed to make us “social” is rather turning us into unhappy, selfish, and envious and selfie-addict individuals. You don’t get it? We’ll explain that for you! Face-to-face social interactions enhance well-being and Facebook connection push people into endless cycles of interacting with strangers, quasi-strangers, and brands. A research conducted by Holly B Shakya, Nicholas A Christakis finds the negative associations of Facebook use were comparable to or greater in magnitude than the positive impact of offline interactions.
