1. Social media can make you more focused on others and their lives rather than your own.

It can sometimes cause you to be too dependent on others.

If you are waiting for people to like your status or your photos, you might be seeking and spending a lot of time waiting on others to approve of the online version of yourself.Â

Social media doesn't allow you to interact with your friends like you otherwise would.

Instagram and other forms of social media can distort your version of reality.

If you're always on your phone, it's easy to miss what is going on around you.

Social Media can cause you to be too public online.

While having some presence online is really a normal thing in today's world, sharing too much information can be risky.Â

Social media can make it difficult for you to move on and forward in your own life.

If you are consuming your time and energy into looking at everyone else's life all the time, it can be more difficult to move on in your own life. People tend to post their best moments online. So when you scroll through instagram and see just how happy everyone is, and just cool everyone's life is, it can be difficult to focus on your own and to understand that what you are seeing is only a filtered version of other's realities.Â
