Social media is a technology that allows people to communicate, share information, and stay connected with one another. It has become an integral part of modern life, but it has also raised concerns about the impact it has on relationships.

Do you know?

3.8 billion people, nearly 50% of the world's population,are social media users!

One of the effects of social media on personal relationships is the potential for increased social comparison. On social media,
people are often presented with a curated version of other people's lives, which can make them feel inadequate or
dissatisfied with their own lives. This can lead to feelings of jealousy, envy, and low self-esteem, which can negatively
impact  relationships.

Another effect of social media on  relationships is the potential for decreased face-to-face communication. Social media can make it easy for people to avoid in-person interactions and rely on digital communication instead. This can lead to a lack of intimacy and emotional connection in personal relationships, as well as a lack of practice in face-to-face communication skills.

Additionally, social media can lead to the creation of virtual relationships that don't have the same depth or meaning as real-life relationships. People might have many online friends and followers, but few close relationships in real life, which can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation.
