Here's the truth - the loneliness scare is real and it plagues a large number of young adults in the country today. "I don't think it is right to attribute a reason like social media addiction to a state of mind like loneliness. While it is very normal for those vulnerable to mood swings and low self esteem to get to believe that somebody else's life is better than theirs; often overlooked aspects like stress, social anxiety, mood swings and similar factors lead to feelings of loneliness. In keeping with popular studies that show how constant comparison on social media triggers feelings of incompleteness and loneliness, Shweta adds, "It has been proven that excess social media usage affects the way you function. Planning before using social media While excessive social media usage is also to be blamed; Digital marketing expert Muralidhar Bhat stresses on the importance of strategising and planning your engagement activity and time.
