The Impact of Social Media on Happiness

Social media has significantly altered perceptions of happiness by constantly bombarding individuals with idealized representations of others’ lives, leading to widespread dissatisfaction. The comparison culture, fueled by images of wealthy celebrities and influencers, has made it increasingly difficult for people to appreciate their own lives and circumstances. As a result, feelings of inadequacy are exacerbated, creating a collective sense of spiritual sickness across the political spectrum. This phenomenon hinders the ability to find contentment and happiness in everyday life.
