Social media profoundly shapes interpersonal relationships, often diminishing their quality. Platforms promise connection but frequently foster superficial interactions, jealousy through curated highlights, and reduced face-to-face time. This leads to shallower bonds, increased loneliness, and lower satisfaction in real-life relationships. Balance is key—use it mindfully to enhance, not replace, genuine connections.Related sources:
