The study found that the longer people spend on social media, the more likely they are to feel lonely. The researchers recruited 1787 adults between the ages of 19 and 32 and asked them to complete a questionnaire. People who spend more than 120 minutes a day on social media feel about twice as lonely as those who spend less than 30 minutes a day, the survey found. The researchers explain that this may be because the more time people spend on social media, the less time they spend communicating with people in the real world
People like to post positive experiences on social media, which can easily lead to an imbalance in the mentality of the people who receive such information
the more likely they are to feel lonely.
