Social Media: What/Who is the Problem?
Intersection 1 — the intersection of social media & [mental] health

There is a widespread belief that #SocialMedia is unhealthy and can have adverse side effects on our mental health, which I totally understand and sometimes agree with.

However, there’s another argument against that, which can be pretty difficult to ignore: what if the problem isn’t social media? What if we are the problem, and social media is merely a tool or a reflection of our reality?

Here, I wrote about both sides of the argument: https://perspectiveix.substack.com/p/social-media-mental-health
