[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1591635429153","data":"Social Media has become a part and parcel of our daily life over the years.<\/p>But is it worthy enough to spend some time on this? <\/p>Are we mentally affected because of this media ? <\/p>Do we face any trust issues? <\/p>Such questions would be opinionated here in my article.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1591635429154","data":"As people everywhere believe in genuine numbers, I have decided to conduct a survey ( involving 70 different people of my circle \u2013 my relatives and friends etc. ) about the same which went as follows:<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1591635429159","data":"5ede9e44ab754"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1591635429160","data":"5ede9e61e4607"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1591635429161","data":"5ede9e7854a7d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1591635429158","data":"So usually during pre-lockdown days, around 89% of the people used to spend around less than 7 hours per day on Social Media. And now in this current lockdown it saw a drop to around 84% for the same time intervals per day. And for every 3 out of  4 persons believe that Social Media is a highly influential parameter for our mental health.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1591635429157","data":"Many such related questions were asked and the text responses were analysed. Finally I could notice that a very appreciable amount of my circle agree that Social Media has more negative impact on our Mental Health compared to societal pressure, peer pressure, job pressure etc.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1591635429156","data":"Why is this so?<\/p>Well, everything has been globalised and technologically advanced. Earlier they used to receive news about other countries after few days. But now a very quick notification in your phone would bring you such news in less than a minute or so. So it is quite useful in keeping us update with the daily happenings. I agree with this but on the other side of the coin, we find lots of hatred posts, fake news feed, cyber bullying, negative and disappointing information and many such. Is this all desirable? Certainly No. But it is not avoidable once you are active enough in the Social Media.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1591635429155","data":"This negative aspect ( side of the coin ) deteriorates us mentally. For suppose, hatred posts or news feed would depress us. Fake news about sensible matters like health, say would bother us to a very much extent. We become overthinkers and become more health conscious constantly thinking about the cons and spoiling our mood and mind. We are subjected to Cyber bullying and Cyber Frauds at times that leads us to a mental trauma and eventual suicides. We are body shamed , harassed online and discriminated on many grounds too. Excessive usage of Social Media in the nights also reduces our sleep hours. It has been estimated that on an average, a teen spends 4:3 ratio of time spent for Social Media to the sleeping time respectively. This is how it can be correlated with mental health especially in the present day. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1591635429162","data":"Is all this needed?<\/p>Can it be avoided? <\/p>Well, as we are in the 21st century where everything runs quick enough, we need to stay connected to the world and apart from age-old reliable sources of information like TV, newspapers etc. this is a swift way to be updated about the world\u2019s situations. So rather than avoiding it completely, just try to differentiate between good and bad, correct and incorrect , genuine and fake detailing etc. Strengthen yourselves mentally and stay calm whenever you find any panic causing details over the media. Firstly analyse the truth lying beneath such details and think about its certain consequences and then decide and act upon. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1591635429163","data":"Try to avoid mental stress through such negative aspects of the Social Media and enjoy the beneficiaries of the same!!<\/p>Stay calm !! Stay safe !!  <\/p>"}]
