How Social Media , Can Control Your Life.
Bolde recently offered readers a list of ways
that social media could be impacting your life.

Relying on "likes" and other forms of online reactions
to feel good can allow social media to dictate your
sense of self-worth and impact your self-esteem.
Social media can also lead to unhealthy
comparisons with other people, altering
your perception of yourself and reality. .
Constantly scrolling through social media also takes
away from your ability to be present and truly
experience the world and the people around you.
The same could be said for always looking
for the next selfie opportunity. Not every
moment needs to be captured or shared. .
Laying in bed and scrolling before bed can
also have a negative impact on your sleep.
Exposure to blue light can disrupt
your body's natural circadian rhythm.
Bolde also reminds readers that posting every
detail of your life on social media offers criminals
information about yourself, your friends and your family.
Checking social media privacy settings is another good
practice from time to time, particularly because people
often just blindly accept terms without every reading them.
