Abstract

Social media has brought many changes to people’s lives. The negative impact of social media on people is reflected in all aspects of life, social and emotional, while social media brings convenience to life, it also brings emotional pressure to people. Since social networks are developing rapidly, various social media that attract people are constantly appearing, and people’s addiction to social media is becoming more and more serious, it is urgent and important to study the negative aspects of social media. In this paper, we discuss the negative effects of social media on people through literature analysis and case studies to draw attention to them. Social media has brought people the pressure to constantly check new news, the anxiety caused by comparison, and the depression caused by online violence. A long time obsessed with social media will lead people into self-isolation, creating social barriers, and obsessing with a false sense of security on the Internet. Not only will young people be affected, but children will also be affected in this way, and even more because the information on the Internet is chaotic.
