Sediqeh Nazari, a psychologist, told “weezha Ruz”: “If social networks are not used consciously, they can have detrimental effects on mental health.<\/p>\n
For example, they cause young people to compare their real lives with the superficial lives of those active on social media pages.<\/p>\n
There are ways for young people to use these platforms properly, reduce this dependency through suitable alternatives, and gain the awareness that published content is not absolutely the truth.”<\/p>\n
Sabavon Azizi, another psychologist, said: “Using social networks can have either positive or negative effects on our psyche. If we can manage it, it will have positive impacts and we will learn useful things.<\/p>\n
But if we do not manage it, we may face many harms, including insomnia and lack of self-confidence.”<\/p>\n
She added: “We should follow topics that align with our interests on social networks so that we become proper users and benefit from the advantages of these platforms.<\/p>\n
We should pursue content that contributes to our personal growth and development, not wasting our time.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some young people also emphasize the conscious use of social networks.<\/p>\n
Neda Sharifi, a citizen, told “weezha roz”: “I mostly use WhatsApp and Instagram because they are useful for connecting with friends, learning, and accessing new content.<\/p>\n
I advise young people to use social networks in a balanced and conscious manner, manage their time, follow useful and educational content, and avoid sharing or believing false information.”<\/p>\n
Karim, another citizen, told “Vizheh-Ruz”: “I mostly use Instagram.<\/p>\n
Sometimes after using social networks, I realize that hours have passed. But now I make a great effort to manage my time so I can attend to my work and educational programs.”<\/p>\n
He added: “My message to young people is to use social networks properly and beneficially, take advantage of them for learning and awareness, and maintain balance in their usage as someone who has experienced wasting a lot of time.”<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that according to psychologists, alternative ways to reduce social media use include spending time with family, learning new skills, meeting new people, reading, and exercising.<\/p>\n
