Reality of Social Media | Nitish Rajput | Hindi
The reality of social media today is a complex tapestry of connection, influence, and vulnerability. On the one hand, it has revolutionized how we communicate, allowing us to connect with friends and family across the globe, share our passions, and discover new horizons. However, beneath the glossy filters and curated feeds lies a darker side—a world of comparison, addiction, and privacy concerns. Many users grapple with the pressure to project a flawless image, leading to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. Moreover, the constant barrage of information and the algorithmic echo chambers can skew our perceptions of reality and polarize our beliefs. In this digital age, understanding the nuanced facts of social media is essential to harnessing its benefits while safeguarding our mental well-being and privacy.
Navigating the realities of social media requires a discerning eye and a critical mind. It’s a place where authenticity can shine but often competes with carefully constructed personas. Users must be vigilant about the information they consume and share, as misinformation and echo chambers thrive in the digital realm. Privacy concerns demand a closer look at how our data is collected and used, prompting discussions about digital rights and online ethics. In this ever-evolving landscape, fostering a healthy relationship with social media involves striking a balance between staying connected and safeguarding our mental and emotional well-being, ultimately reminding us that the power to shape digital reality lies in our hands.

I recently learned there’s a new trend on social media: monk mode. It means cutting out distractions and going into self-isolation to become more productive. It’s supposedly based on science and particularly concerned with avoiding social media, because that’s addictive. But can social media really be addictive? Does the monk mode work? And what’s the science behind it? In this video, we’ll sort it out.

Social media has been developed to connect people. However, quite early, scientists found that social media (and social media addiction) can lead to changes in the brain such an enlarged amygdala. First reports surfaced showing that people compare their lives to lives they see on social media and report a decline of mental health upon heavy social media use. It seems like our brains cannot distinguish between social media and the real world. Social media also led to an attention span crisis meaning that we have a harder time to focus if we spend much time on social media. Moreover, social media is able to feed into the reward system of our brains. Everytime we perceive something good dopamine producing cells in the brain release dopamine which leads to a good feeling. Social media has used this mechanism to provide us with a constant stream of good feelings. Social media algorithms have been optimize to show more social media content in a shorter period of time leading to more dopamine. As a result, some argue that social media addiction should be recognized as a mental disorder.
Besides negatively impacting our brains on an individual level social media and social media addiction also impacts society. Last year, a sharp rise in tic symptoms have been reported among teenagers in the US. It seems like that tic-related content on tiktok together with anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to this rise in tic-like symptoms. So what should we do about social media? And how can we ensure that our brains are not negatively impacted by the constant stream of dopamine? Well, sometimes the best thing is just to avoid social media for a while.
