Headline: UNCAPTIONED: How Social Media Can Control Your Life
Caption: How Social Media Can Control Your Life. Bolde recently offered readers a list of ways that social media could be impacting your life. Not only can social media consume a massive chunk of time that could be spent doing something more productive, it also has an impact on your mood. Relying on "likes" and other forms of online reactions to feel good can allow social media to dictate your sense of self-worth and impact your self-esteem. Social media can also lead to unhealthy comparisons with other people, altering your perception of yourself and reality. Constantly scrolling through social media also takes away from your ability to be present and truly experience the world and the people around you. The same could be said for always looking for the next selfie opportunity. Not every moment needs to be captured or shared. Laying in bed and scrolling before bed can also have a negative impact on your sleep. Exposure to blue light can disrupt your body's natural circadian rhythm. Bolde also reminds readers that posting every detail of your life on social media offers criminals information about yourself, your friends and your family. Checking social media privacy settings is another good practice from time to time, particularly because people often just blindly accept terms without every reading them.
