Social Media and Relationships

Social media can affect relationships in both positive and negative ways. Excessive use of social media can also lead to feelings of jealousy and insecurity, especially if one partner is actively engaging with others online in a way that seems flirtatious or inappropriate.

It can also reduce the quality of face-to-face communication and intimacy in a relationship. That is why it is important for individuals in a relationship to set healthy boundaries and communicate openly with each other about their social media use.

Let us see what are the consequences when social media enters into someone’s relationship and how it affects mental health.
