In today's fast-paced world, we are becoming addicted to social media. We spend hours scrolling through social media, wasting time and energy. This has a significant impact on our lives and relationships. While social media helps us connect with others, it can also create distance in relationships.
Through social media, we can interact with others and maintain regular communication. This helps strengthen relationships because communication enhances bonds.
However, social media can compromise your privacy. Someone can track your location, misuse profiles, or create fake accounts. In relationships, this can cause misunderstandings and interference with privacy.
