The use of social media has undeniably become an integral part of daily life. Technological advancements provide space for everyone to access various things and connect with anyone, anytime. With the simplicity of technology in the palm of one's hand, creativity often emerges from the collaboration of existing ideas. However, social media users sometimes become antisocial, preferring to seek freedom in the virtual world. The sophistication of communication tools that embrace social media as a connecting medium often generates diverse perspectives in society. Both positive and negative impacts can result from active or passive social media usage.
Firstly, positive impact of social media is enhancing Social Sensitivity in Society. The many perspectives in society often create complex issues. Psychological conditions significantly affect emotions, and through personal stories shared on social media, people can examine existing psychological problems.Â
Secondly, Developing Understanding and Hobbies. With the rapid spread of information across various platforms, users can obtain insights from different parts of the world. Social media showcases various events worldwide, enabling individuals to learn about their interests and connect with communities of like-minded users.

Anxiety and restlessness arise when individuals do not follow certain trends. This feeling causes pressure, difficulty focusing, and a constant need to stay connected to social media.
From the fact above, technological and informational advancements have brought significant changes. The dissemination of information must be carefully monitored to avoid adverse effects on public understanding.
