The unseen toll of social media perfectionism, a mental health crisis in the digital age

By Robert Mutasi 

Social media networks apart from providing a connection with an expression platform, are loaded with painful health effects throughout. 

This article highlights those effects in detail of the constant self-exposure that enchants the characteristics of networking users. 

We will look forward to the issue of the psychological effects of  comparing ourselves to images made and embedded with networks that are accompanied by feelings with limitations, anger and stress. 

The pressure of wanting to continue to hold a neat and stable presence I networks often leads to a distorted perception of the reality of things and subsequently to live affecting health and the ability to discover and accept oneself. 

The pressure exerted on the individual to portray an unrealistic image is fragmented by different aspects including professionalism and personal relationships with other people. 

How does this culture of perfection affect our personal status and stimulate the attitudes of others? We will highlight and analyze trends in mental health statistics derived from the widespread use of social networks.

This use symbolizes the willingness to exist with careful attention when it comes to the use of engaging in social networks. 

Furthermore, this emphasis and struggle to be perfect in digital has brought broad harm to society. 

How people cling to live online and its aspirations is where realism fades. 

The conversation is filtered, the short talk time is also purely organized, and the legitimate human connection is plaguing. 

Freeing yourself from this toxic circle, you need to transfer awareness of how to engage in social networks. 

Setting time limits for using networks, finding positive content to build you, and giving relationships and really touching each other and ignoring those on the internet are very important ways. 

Providing digital training is also important for educating people how to evaluate social media content. 

Let us use digital instruments to strengthen ourselves and develop ourselves and not be instruments of unhappiness and deterioration of our security.
