insights on varied scale functional growth paradigms. Addiction to social media has been
competently rising within recent years in teenagers and young adults, where it has varied
negative side effects on physical and mental wellbeing. It creates impact on eye strain, social
positive withdrawal and lack of sleep among individuals, where people have discomfort

Stress and addiction with social media has been also reducing emotional connections
among individuals within people, where it has been proven that more people are getting
widely used to only social media usage. It has negative downfall among emotional stability
for people where teenagers and youngsters resort to it as one of the hugest addiction, where it
decreases flexibility to be active on huge levels. Social media has been raising as one of the
widely analysed real phenomenon, with latest technology gadgets, smart phones increasing
usage people spend majority of hours online to surf sites such as Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram. It has harmful impact on regularity within lives and on their health standards,
where addiction has potentiality to create harmful impact, as it saps energy away from
physical activities.

As per view of Nesi (2020), people use social media for online socialising, sharing
information and shopping simply as diversion, where it has fundamental impact on emotional
wellbeing within individuals in longer run. Emotional breakdown and depression rise are
some of the most common issues rising among individuals, where online usage of social
media has been competently found as major concern. This further connects to varied
scenarios, where social media has been impacting on mental health wellbeing for bringing on
competent efficacy development. Social media usage outcomes also comes with varied scale
impacts towards health among people from young age to adults, where addiction often leads
to morale decline and social blackouts. Positive connections with people has also declined in
recent years, where social isolation and addiction to digital media is also found to be further
impact on shorter span of life. Diminished quality of life is also one of the major health
concern, where it is result from excessive usage of social media within life standards. Media
usage and wide range of negativity spread through social media platforms impact on morale
decline among youngsters, where there is functional reduced efficacy among competent
working scenarios.
The issue of cyber bulling is also one of major concern, where privacy leakage and
hindrance to personal safety within information presented on social media platforms is also
one of the major concerns. Adults and youngsters often feel cyber bulling as one of the major
increasing impact on their mental health wellbeing, where social media platforms usage is
widely increasing issue. Mass media and digital platforms have huge impact in reducing
strengths towards mental peace has been decreasing among young people, by varied mass
spread of negative news. Privacy of people when subjected to influence of public perceptions
and views within dynamically evolving social media platforms, it brings on challenging
impact towards mental wellbeing. Ethical standards are also hurt by social media platforms
and varied scale cyber bulling where youngsters often get depressed and addicted to resorting
to digital media.
As per the views of Stawicki, Firstenberg and Papadimos (2020), social media impact
on physical health and wellbeing can be also analysed by varied scale results where teenagers
and people at young age are facing obesity issues. Fatigue, lack of exercises have been
leading to varied health issues building up less productive advancement and severe impact in
reduction of healthy lifestyle. The usage of digital media and social online platforms has
resulted in wide addiction among young age people, where it has impact on eyes as major
people face eye sight issues at young age now. Fatigue and lack of activeness causes serious

implications with high distraction, fatigue issues which further also leads to strong negative
downfall in efficiency standards. Overall psychology is impacted by usage and addiction to
social media platforms, where physical stress increase is one of the most crucial factors.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is also widely increasing, where individual experiences eyesight
issues that affects hands or wrists associated with keying on mobile phones for long time.
Social media platforms such as Facebook, youtube, Instagram leads to loss of valuable sleep
and lack of physical fitness due to resorting and addiction to digital media usage. There is
also lack of sleep, which functionally leads to further distraction and increase in stress within
longer run where decline in attention is also recognised as major issue.
As noted by Lin and Kishore, (2021). social media usage triggers more sadness and
less wellbeing, where research shows people using digital media platfoms widely use social
media addcition creates impact and depresion on living standards. Further, people are
geeting social isolation from society and frriends in lives where major time is being spent on
social media platforms which further reduces efficacy aspects widely. The reason behind
increasing depressive life standards is often wrong usage of Apps such as Faceebook,
Instagram, Whatsapp and many more where youngsters often use digital platfroms as
diversion. There are unrealitic ideas development where social media creates fake image of
people and also there is varied scale downfall in competent productivity parametrs. This
further also can be analysed that usgae of social media can also impact in decreased morale
among employees, where they furtrher feel less confident and also stress is increased. Social
media impacts creates comparison within others whcih is mentally unhelathy, and has severe
impact on mental attutude among indivdiuals and young adults where they feel presurraised
(Zhang and Zhou, 2020).
The researcher has been also presneting detailed informations, where social media is
vicious circle for youngsters and fucntionally bringing on huge large scale implications on
helath and mental wellbeing. Furthermore, there are determinants towards where thre are
factors whcih lead to technical decline on their professional and personal performance
parameters. Social media addiction also brings on rise towards unhealthy lifestyle factors,
wherev youngsters and children often feel technical decline standards in their thinking
abilities.
While on contrary, other author Croucher, Nguyen and Rahmani (2020), has also
examined detailed analysis towards factors where social media usage when done strategically

also further leads to morale increased and confident presonality development. Researcher
presnets research in competent way, where the usage of social media platforms must be done
rughtfully, in correct format and limited order under guidance. The research presents detailed
infromations and data related to varied factors of benefits form social media and digital
platforms enhancement, where it further synchronises in new scale infromative knowledge
varieldy. It can be also primitively analysed that social media brings on varied eductaional
growth opportunity for youngsters also, where informative shared news further add to their
potentialities and stronger capabilities. It can be also analysed that there is strengthened
development of anytical thinking potnetialities, higher creative fucntional strengths among
indivdiuals. The contrary views presneted by author expalins that social media usgae and
impact has postive outlooks and expansion among people informative working arenas also.
This also up scales varied technical growth scenarios also towards infromative keen standards
, determinants conmnected towrads new ideolgies when used accurately
However, when analysing the negative outlooks and aspects of impact by social
media platforms it can be further synchrnoised that there is wide scale fucntional decline on
mental peace among users. Social media usage and addiction to digital platfroms has hugely
created mental depression among minds within users, where there are various issues whcih
leads to decreased stregth towards effective wide standrads. This further heads on focus
towards mental breakdown, decreased morale factor and aslo impulsive decline for
strengthened bringing on new ideolgies informatively. Globally reseeach has also conclued
varied scale long term health issues among youngsters, where there is nerve breakdown and
brain efficiency concerns whcih technically also further impact on life efficacy. Social media
connectivity has been also harmrful in bringing on keen new advanced scale productivity
factors, whcih impacts towards competent innovation widely (Craig and et.al, 2020)
Social media creates stress and depressive attittude in life standards, where there is
also further decline among living standards and thinking aptitudes. The consoistency among
studies and professional wellebing is declined, which further shows that key connectivity and
strengths to think practically is impacted by using social media platfroms. This further also
evolves focus towrads social media platfroms connectivity prameters, where usage and
consistent addicton reduces prfeormance efficacy goals functionally. It can be alao analysed
that social media usgae furher creates long term impact on eyes and neuronory strengths,
where young people and adults are facing health issues competently.

As per the views of Allington and et.al, (2020), social media platforms have created
dillusions in mind set for people where it works as drugs among mindset in people and
influencive impact on public prcerptions within living standards. It can be also analysed that
social media and usage of digital media platforms has further created a havoc and mental gap
for bringing on new potetialities rise, where large period of day is being spent online.
Youngsters today face addiction of social media, as it creates mental pressure and acts like
drug where it has been also analysed to be captivating the mindsets among people.
Furthermore, it also creates loophole in people mind set and living phenomenon, where social
media platforms usgae reduces efficacy parameters fucntionally bringing on impact towards
thinking ieologies frameworks. Thus, it can be analysed that social media impact on wellness
and health social wellbieng has been influencive, where public precerptions and views within
society are varying widley. This also brings on detailed fucntional impact on usage of varied
digital sites and platfroms, where privacy and data is at risk widley further bringing on impact
towards paradigms where people face depressive synergies. Depression and self isolation has
also lead to decline on physical weelbeing, where stress and factors of technical strength
reducess personal growth in professional as well as personal life standards. This further also
keenly brings on competent fucntional decline towards productive well standards, where
social media addiction also hinders time utilisation for personal and professional growth.
As per the views of Abi-Jaoude, Naylor and Pignatiello (2020), researcher explains
there are various facts that shows that social media usgae and being addcited to digital media
usgae further lowers potnetiality to take part in new activities among people as their thinking
abilities is restrained. Also, furthermore, there is blockage in ideologies and determinants
towards effective competencies among indivdiduals towrads bringing comptent fucntional
rise within longer term. This can be also analysed to be one of the crucial factor, where social
media usgae futher declines indivdiual positive attitude and adaptability to be practical on
thining scenarios within work. This further can be also analysed to have strong long term
decline on overall practical productivity frameworks, higher smart thinking living standards
and also being positive towards motivational goals. Furthermore, it can be also analysed that
research examines that social media addiction often also leads to less activness in life and
also towards keeping up efficacy benchmarks (10 Hidden Negative Effects of Social Media
on Your Brain, 2020). The addiction of social media has also created fundamental stress
among people living standards, where there is core decline towards efficacy parametrs and
strengthened ideologies to be confident. Ideally social media and dgital platforms when used

limitedly and fruiutfully, has varied scale postive impact on bringing further new rise
towards upholding productivity goals profoundly. The further competent strengths
development, also has speciifc role to play among competent determinants where excessive
addiction to social medai reduces potnetialities imperatively.
Social media usgae explains, surveys concludes 90 % of teends belive online
harassement is an increaseing issue within their age which is result of execssive usgae of
social media and digital technolgies. The impact been found to be widley neagtive where
influence says that it increases bullying, romour mongering and also harms relationships.
Physcologically there is pressure evolving with continous addiction on social media platfoms
widley, where this further also creates impact towrads ideologies framework and social,
mental helath well being. The addiction and resorting to social media platfroms and digital
sites is one of the mjaor issue harming young age people wellbeing, where this hampers lack
of concious decision making abilities. Further more overall connective benchmarks and
ability to be adhering effective new scale goal rise, also is lowered among individuals due to
usage and addiction of social media (6 Ways Social Media Affects Our Mental Health,
2017).
Spending morw than 6 hours each day using social medai and withdarwing from
family and friends is aslo major concern where it leads to further creating negligence and lack
of attentivness towards activities within stiudies. Further, there is also overhelmong desire to
share on social media feeds among adults and youngsters whcih further creates big loophole
in thinking patterns. This also furthetr leads to experiencing severe nervousness, withdrawal
symptoms and less confident thinking aptitudes among peole whcih further also lowers
productivity standrds. Usage of social media in addictive aspect, has strong negative impact
on overall fucntional impacts, where indivdiuals feel variedly pressurized and fathomly stong
urge to be constntly present on social media networks. This further also constntyly brings on
decline within living phenomenons, aspects and determinats towards bringing on new firm
ideologies productively.
CONCLUSION

developeed on negative impact of usgae of social media on health, mentall as well as
physiclally. Furthermore, there has been constant increase on mroale factors and strengthened

new creative thinking abilities on mental working aspects and physicall also it leads to fatigue
