The rapid rise of social media has crossed over 3 million
users, which is probably the biggest in history. However, our
connection and everlasting bond with the social media is
affecting our lives negatively. On the one hand social media
sites like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter and many
others have proven benefits, frequent or excessive usage of
such applications can cause anxiety, loneliness, depression
and plenty of other mental health issues.

Not only children but also adults feel ashamed and offended
when their parents scold over excessive usage of gadgets
(Gaming, Computer and Mobile Phones) however, our
parents are right because they have observed the changes
social media had made through the decade. Short Tempering
and anxiety is one of the main causes of overuse of social
media. Here are 7 negative effects of social media and why
you should maintain agape from social media immediately to
prevent the bad effects on your life.

1) Addiction is a disease:

There is no doubt in saying that social media is addictive. A new study has
confirmed that most people scroll their feed every time they get free time and this
is how addiction comes in. Though there are both good and bad things exist but
“Addiction is a disease that makes you too selfish to see the havoc you created or
care about the people whose lives you have shattered.”

If we talk about the Facebook addiction disorder that this may come over your life
too. It included mood swings, escapism, mental preoccupation, neglect of personal
life and many others. And if social media attraction exists, then it would be similar
to internet addiction that enables you to believe in everything you observe online.
More effectively, this social media addiction is linked to the relationship issues
that makes you weak in handling personal relationships. This should be controlled
as soon as possible before it turns out to be the biggest fear of your life.

2) More social, Less Human:

Communication is the key to a happy life and people addicted to social media tend
to have a less human connection than those who are not connected online. To be
in the human shell, it is important for all of us to maintain a happy
communication to ensure that we are caring for each other. Else there is no point
in living. “The most precious gift that one human being can offer another is
selfless and unconditional love. It’s the only thing ultimately, that really matters in
the End.” However, it is hard to find connections between humans starting at
square mobile screens. These days people tend to believe in digital faces more
than real-life ones.

3) Stress is kind of slow poison:

People using social media frequently take everything serious. Be it any official
news or rumors they keep thinking about whatever they have seen online. This
nonsense leads them to be stressed out. Social Media feeds are just about
customer services to the governmental policies and politics.

According to The BBC — A survey of 1,800 people revealed that women are more
depressed than men. Significantly, women tend to use gadgets longer than men,
thus they are stressed and depressed.

4) Bad Mood is Your Biggest Enemy:

In today’s generation, everything depends on one's mood. Be it the approval of any
work or anything whatever he calls for. If someone is not interested then he
wouldn’t indulge into and excessive usage of social media has affected our lives so
badly that caused toxic mood swings on the beat.

A stacks displayed that people with lower moods used social media for 20 minutes
while the people who didn’t use were happy and cheerful. “The only difference
between a good and bad day is your attitude.” This is as simple as nothing else
because your attitude is what decides your day and night and you need to be
happy the whole day because happiness is free and everybody can get it.

5) The Less You Sleep the Fast You Decay:

Every human needs to take proper sleep, at least 7 hours in a day. But what we are
doing is scrolling for hours and this is what causes decay of our generation, decay
of love from our lives and every problem we are confronting today.

Getting up in a hectic schedule is the biggest reason why enough sleep should be
in the list of each of us but most of us prefer using smartphones than taking
appropriate sleep and this is the key to worse mental health.

These are a few general ways how a useful technology is ruining our lives or maybe
we are using technology to ruin our life. Social media is a boon of technology,
invented to smoothen our life and due to excessive use of it now social media is
affecting our life negatively therefore we need to control it.
