Abstract
The paper explores the negative impact of social media, particularly on body image and self-esteem, on young people. This approach emphasizes the detrimental effects of comparisons, especially with retouched images. The research aimed to establish correlations between time spent on social media or unhealthy use and individual self-esteem using a questionnaire. The results revealed a negative correlation between self-esteem and the amount of time spent on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Spending more than 2.69 hours on Instagram, 3.59 hours on Facebook, or 4.69 hours on YouTube daily may lead to self-esteem dissatisfaction. The study concludes that the relationship between social media use and self-esteem satisfaction is complex, underscoring the importance of setting healthy boundaries and prioritizing real-life interactions.
