The negative effects of Facebook As the world turns, everything constantly revolves around us, including technology. Technology today seems to be growing exponentially and more and more people are becoming addicted to the Internet because they are too busy communicating with each other on social media. As people start to get used to social media networks like Facebook, they start to forget about their lives and spend too much time on these types of social media networks. Nowadays, people tend to overlook the reality of social media due to its accessibility and ease of access instead of collaborating with each other in person; people are starting to connect via Facebook like live chat, group chat, video and so on. Facebook is a really great social site but just like everything, it has its drawbacks like getting addicted. The implications for individuals of being too online can hurt people physically, emotionally, causing some individuals to react aggressively over certain issues and situations. Therefore, social media is not only used to communicate, but also corrupts people as it creates jealousy and trust issues, affects the user's health problems, and causes distraction. According to Cyber ​​Psychology and Behavior, researchers conducted a study using Facebook as a tool to collect data on jealousy and trust issues. They found Facebook to be an integral element in relationships. (cit.) The study demonstrated that there is a relationship between a person's exposure to Facebook and self-confidence, loyalty and relational reassurance. The data was basically collected through online surveys unknown to others from the age of 17-24. This study is known to be related... to the center of the paper... to the daily routine of those who use it. Prolonged use of Facebook can eventually lead to an alienated life such as jealousy and trust issues, health problems, and distractions. The extensive use of social networks has become an epidemic in today's society and there is no way to stop or discourage people from using them. Works Cited Kalpidou, M., Costin, D., & Morris, J.
