Spending Too Much Time on Social Media Could Stress You Out
- About 4 in 10 U.S. adults today are almost constantly online with global screen time averaging over six hours per day
- A 7-month study of 1,490 German adults found that spending more time online — especially on mobile phones — was linked to increased stress
- Children ages 10 to 14 who use Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube had poor self-esteem, largely because they compared their own lives to those of others who looked happier or more successful online
- "Passively" scrolling through social media increased social anxiety in college students, especially women, while actively posting and interacting helped lower anxiety and supported healthier social confidence
- Simple steps like setting app limits, turning off alerts, creating screen-free days, and focusing on real-life connections can help you break the scroll cycle and protect your peace of mind
