Nowadays, it seems like everyone is on social media. However, the positives of social media are often overshadowed by the seemingly endless negatives of the platforms. From addiction and mental health issues to jealousy and unhealthy comparisons, social media might be ruining our lives. Despite this, 70.4% of people surveyed believe it improves their life satisfaction, though opinions vary based on factors like age, gender, and political affiliation. Millennials and Democrats are more likely to view social media negatively. Interestingly, while some groups may experience more negative effects, they still prefer a world with social media. Regional differences exist too, with Midwesterners having more negative experiences and perceptions of social media compared to those in the South. Overall, social media's influence on mental health and societal pressures is complex, with some finding it beneficial while others see drawbacks.
