Social Media
Challenge
Are you having difficulty separating yourself from your screen?
Do you suffer from FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) if you don’t check your social media?
Does your mood / behaviour change substantially as a result of social media or if it is withdrawn?
Does your devotion of so much time to social media impair other important life areas?
Young people in particular live in a world today that is constantly connected and while this comes with benefits, it also comes with a feeling that you’re constantly visible, and by extension judged. This can leave many people feeling stressed and unable to turn off the amplified sense of self-awareness that social media presents, leading to symptoms like any other form of addiction.
