The Effects of Social Media Use on Your Brain by Andrew Amaral https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause Post your answers to all six questions in the appropriate columns. en-us 2018-02-22 15:10:44 UTC 2024-11-19 08:52:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Question 1 https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459079768  I think social media does make people more social because they can talk about themselves more on the internet, which then their brain rewards them with dopamine.

Which means more people can now interact with each other, even if they are on the other side of the world. In my own experience, social media allows me to talk with my friends and family back in the Philippines. And talk to my friends here in Canada since I can’t meet up with them due to the pandemic.]]> 2021-04-26 12:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459082436 https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459082604
I think that social media makes people less social because One statement made in the video which talks about how social media psychological addiction as supposed to a substance addiction in which brain scans of these people actually show a similar impairment of regions that those with drug dependence have. Specifically there is a clear degradation of white matter in the regions that control emotional processing, attention, and decision making. Because social media provides immediate rewards  with very little effort required, your brains begins to rewire itself making you desire these stimulations. And you begin to crave more of this neurological excitement after each interaction. This sounds or relates to a drug. One example/experience from my own life that kind of relates to this is that a bit after covid I had a group of friends which I met through gaming. We would play everyday non stop but we would text and text online and talk about different things. We then all found out we live all near each other, so then  we decided to meet up all one day at the mall. The problem with this though is that I don’t know them in real life but only through the game and messaging on instagram. So since I haven’t seen my actual friends in a while because of covid I have not socialized with  a lot of people that I know so then this came up and when we met it was awkward because it was a first time, I didn’t personally know them very well, and I was a bit shy because of all the online interacting and not  face to face. So in this point I was less social because I didn’t have a social interaction with my good friends in a while. So then when I met up with my other friends I was shy and was awkward but then we met up more times and we all talk and do other things. So know we are comfortable meeting each other face to face again if we ever do.

I think this because, while 30-40% of face-to-face conversations involve communicating our own experiences, around 80% of social media communication is self-involved. An example of this can be seen in my own experience, in the COVID-19 pandemic; I tend to use social media more when I am made to quarantine (in such times), meaning the only way I am able to communicate with others (such as friends or distant family), is through social media.]]> 2021-04-26 12:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459084214 Lanz 341463354 https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459084452 Phantom vibration syndrome can be bad for your mental health because you’re experiencing something that isn’t there. Phantom vibration syndrome is when a person feels their phone vibrate as if they got a message. But in reality their phone didn’t vibrate and they're just feeling things that never happened. Kind of like hallucinating, both involve experiencing something that never happened. And both can cause someone to go crazy, phantom vibration syndrome might take a long time to make someone go crazy but it is possible. Constantly experiencing something that never happened, can make you feel anxious and give you a sense that maybe you are crazy.]]> 2021-04-26 12:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459084452 https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459084843 In my opinion, it really depends on the type of person and how addicted they are to certain apps. However, I definitely do think that in the long run it can make people less social as some will start to prefer to meet people using social media apps instead of in person. Moreover, people can become less social as they lose in person communication skills the more addicted they are to their social media apps. I like to think that if you have a balance like I have developed  then it shouldn't affect how social you are but if people become glued to their phones effects will start to show sooner or later.

Response: I think that social media makes more people less social than more social mainly the fact that you are behind a screen a little effort is required. In the video it also talks about how your brain rewires due to easily socially interacting so it makes you less social in real life. For me, after covid lockdown the first time when we went away from school, when I met my friends again the first time I was more quiet. After that it got better though. So social media makes people less social due to anonymity.

  • I would say that social media makes people more social. In the video, the narrator talks about how when people talk about themselves, they release dopamine, making them want to talk about themselves more. As someone who posts videos about themselves on social media, I can say that this is true. I tend to post videos about myself and when I see that people enjoy the stuff I post, I feel better.

    Why an issue caused by heavy social media use, such as “phantom vibration syndrome” can be bad for your health is because it seems like if our brains now perceive an itch as an actual vibration from our phone. Technology has begun to rewireour nervous systems - and our brains are being triggered in a way they never have before in history. Social media also triggers a release of dopamine.

As stated in the video "phantom vibration syndrome" can even cause people to perceive an itch as an actual vibration. In addition, this can really become a major distraction in people’s daily lives which can cause other problems.

No matter where you are or what website you use, there will always be at least one person that doesn’t like you or likes to make people feel bad. When using social media, there are people who won’t like your posts or people who just want to make you feel bad, these people are called internet trolls. These people will purposely post hate against you, and when you read too much into it, you start to feel bad about yourself. And you start to feel anxious or stressed whenever you go online, and possibly even become depressed.]]> 2021-04-26 12:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459086825 https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459087078 As a person who was once on social media several hours each day I could see how attached everyone was including me. If a person’s mindset is not strong enough these effects can develop easily. People start to really worry about what others think about them and try to “belong” which causes high levels of anxiety and stress. In addition, people see influencers who live in “perfect” lives and have a lot of nice things. This can make people feel increased levels of depression thinking their lives are not good enough.]]> 2021-04-26 12:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459087078 https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459087320 1.      I believe that social media apps make people less social.

And as we see only the best parts about themselves, we notice only our flaws and bad parts. We see only the negative parts of ourselves and we start to feel insecure and feel as if we aren’t good enough. This kind of negative thinking can ruin someone's self-esteem and make them feel insecure, leading to anxiety and possibly depression.]]> 2021-04-26 12:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459088188 https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459088190

    The stressor I am choosing is the “Highlight Reel”. In my opinion I one hundred percent agree with her explanation and the statements she said. One of the things she said was “We are constantly comparing ourselves to others'', this is what I think has the biggest potential to become a full blown mental health issue. People do it everyday and it has a lot of impacts. I remember when me and my friends used to follow this one influencer and we bought a lot of things that we now realize were useless purchases but we bought the things anyway just because they had it. Additionally, another reason why it’s a major problem is because people go as far as changing what they do everyday as a result of viewing other people’s highlight reels.

    Why I think that anxiety, depression, and stress all increase in a population as their social media use increases is because basically it is basically saying that almost every person that would use any type of social media and, also people that are new to it or joining the social media community what all that is basically doing or saying is that every time someone uses social media that’s either giving someone anxiety, depression, or stress, or if you already have it it will increase and which ever one you have could get worse everytime you use social media. And also for new people getting added to the population it;s basically like they join the population and they get either anxiety, depression, or stress.

I think social media apps make people more social. In the video he mentions that social media creates white matter that produce attrition. On social media many people want to be known or gain more followers, so they share a lot of things about themselves. This was me when I got Instagram. I did not really talk to people at first in school but wanted  to be known on social media I shred things about myself such as thigs I wear and eat to gain attention, which gave me pleasure.

This means that people are more comfortable to express their thoughts and feelings behind their screen rather than in real life, this makes certain individuals more social. An example of this can be seen through our COVID-19 situation that is going on all over the world. Since we are unable to see others in person in relation to the hard core restrictions put out by our governments, social media is the only way we can communicate with one another without breaking these rules. https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459089122 -PETAR ANDONOV]]> 2021-04-26 12:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459089122 Brandan https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459089515 Phantom vibration syndrome is bad for your mental health because it kind of shows that you always have your phone with you at all times and you can’t leave it alone.

    One of the stressors which I agree could become a full blown mental health  issue is F.O.M.O. Why I think that is because F.O.M.O is when you get a social anxiety and are missing the fear of connection, event, or opportunity. A collection of Canadian Universities found that 7/10 students said they would get rid of their social networking accounts if it were not for fear of being left out of the loop. My own experience is that whenever I would be on social media and I see my friends talking about something I always want to include myself because I want to know what they are  talking about, and what they are going to do or what we could talk about and make plans to go out or get on a game to play together. Another experience of mine is when all my friends are on a game and I’m not on probably because I can’t play at the moment but I never want to miss what they are going to play or when they ask me to play I feel like I have to get on so that we could all have a fun time and play something. That’s something I have struggled with a little bit but I feel like I am now controlling that well.

    Two more steps that I would add are don’t get too drawn in and limit what you show. My first step would improve people’s social media wellness as they would not be addicted to social media apps as they have control. The second step would also be very beneficial to improve people’s social media wellness as people can tend to expose themselves to much about what they do during the day and in general which can lead to them getting judged. If they limit what they post this can easily be avoided.

    Response: I think it is because social media has such a high amount of time consuming efforts that you can use on other things. Something like that will definitely impact your social life. I think it mainly affects people because the standards on social media are so high and also people have to do a lot on social media to keep it. It can be stressing on a person which can lead to anxiety problems or depression.

Support Others: When you support others who also have problems with social media, you not only help them, but you also help yourself. By helping someone to have a better experience in social media, you feel good about yourself for doing a good thing. 
    b.) Stop The Hate: There will always be one or two haters on social media, but at least trying to make the experience better is worth it. When you encounter a hater or bad post, try to correct them, and if they don’t stop, report them. Reporting them for bad behavior online will get their accounts banned, improving everyone's experience, even by just a bit.

    Response: Highlight reels. I personally 100% agree with the explanation of how these stressors have become a full blown mental issue on people daily. Highlight reels show the good part about people's life which either makes you get jealous or try to put your standard of life up. In the ted talk, she talked about how people might think “Wow their life is amazing, my life is so garbage, im so unlucky.” This will have a very negative effect on people. For me it was different, when I used to be overweight, I would go on social media and see a bunch of people that were fit and toned. This led to me working out and getting closer and closer to the body I desired. This also improved my health drastically. This may not be the case for everyone though.

  • I feel like anxiety, depression, and stress all increase in population as their social media use increases because when you use social media more, your time management skills become worse. The longer you are on social media for, the more time you could have done things decreases. A lot of students specifically are stressed because of social media. You have less time to do homework because of social media, you study less for the upcoming test because you procrastinate by going on social media. Stress leads to anxiety, which can make you depressed.

    Avoid using social media before bed - How this step can improve people’s social media wellness is because going on social media before you sleep can affect your sleeping  since you would get so addicted at night that you will use it for longer then you should have and you will get less sleep and feel tired the next day. So if you avoid using social media at night it will help you rest better.


     


    Take a break - Taking a break from social media is important because it takes your midn away from all the posts and negative things you have seen on social media.  Since social media can cause like depression, anxiety, etc, it’s really important to focus on yourself and life and what your goal in life is.

A lot of the time, teens like to pressure each other into doing things. Most of the time it’s just for fun and games, but sometimes they can pressure you into something you really don’t want to do. teens like to test and pressure each other into doing things because they want you to be like them. Since people like to hang out with other people who have the same interests as them, it makes sense that they would pressure someone new into doing those things as well.]]> 2021-04-26 12:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459092692 3. https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459092811 I think anxiety, depression, and stress all increase in a population as their social media use increases, because of the 4 stressors on social media: Highlight reel: meaning we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel; Social currency: meaning in social media, we are the product; Fear of missing out (F.O.M.O): meaning social anxiety, which is the fear of being judged negatively by other people; Online harassment: harassing someone online because of their appearance, beliefs, etc.]]> 2021-04-26 12:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459092811 https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459092828
  • I agree with her about social currency. Many people post things hoping it will get tons and views and likes and if it doesn't, they usually question it and get upset. This can be a full blown mental health issue because when you post it, you become stressed out hoping it gets a bunch of views and likes and when it doesn’t, you get upset.

    The statement I agree with is the one that talks about talking to girls and saying or showing how I feel. I have had experiences like that, and I can understand where he is coming from because when you want to do that you become very nervous, shy, and you could feel embarrassed depending on how it ends up. Sometimes you could be pressured to talk to and share your feeling with a girl so that’s why it’s very hard to do and it’s a thing which not everyone can do successfully.

I, like many others, compare myself to what others are doing and wish I could do the same or have similar highlights. However I sometimes make myself feel bad or feel less because I compared myself with someone else.

This is a mental health care issue because you brain is constantly worrying about where you fit in what I missed and more. This causes you to go back to social media and become addicted. An example is one of my friends had a birthday party and did not invite me, but the people he invited kept posting what they were doing making look at each post coming back each time to see what I missed or do I still fit in that group. She said a “collection of university conducted research that 7/10 students would get rid of their social media counts if it weren’t for the fear of being left Out the loop”

    Response: Two other steps that I would add to her list that I think would improve other people’s social media wellness are you can’t unsend the message and at the end of the day, the best version of yourself, is the real you. These 2 steps would definitely help in people’s media wellness because some people don’t think before they post something. They don’t know that it will never get deleted no matter what it says. This can help because people will be avoiding causing issues for themselves online. Also, the best version of yourself is the real you helps a lot because there are a lot of backseeted comments that others make towards other people. If you let the bad comments get disregarded, you will be a more confident person, and you will know that you are the best you can be. This will not let anyone else bother you too.

This causes our brains to think an itch is a vibration from our phone. Our brains are being triggered in away they have never been before in history.

By only following you favourite sports teams or friends and staying away from everything else can help avoid negativity or things you might not want to see. Secondly, I think taking scheduled brakes from social media can also help. For example, every 2 days you stay away from all social media so you can reset your mind and well being.

  • I chose “Highlight Reel” as my stressor. I agree with her explanation, and how it can become a mental health issue. In her presentation, she says how she’s constantly comparing herself to her friend’s when they post about something. “Why is she at the beach and I’m at home?” As someone who also compares themselves to others, I can say this is true. A lot of people will try and compare themselves to others because we want what they have. That can lead to a mental health issue like depression because you are constantly comparing, and not striving to achieve that goal.

    Response: One point that they mentioned inside the video that I strongly agree with is the fact that boys are pressured in society to be the “toughies.” Us teenage boys have an invisible standard to be the best we can. We also get a lot of questions when we get close with other people. Boys also have to hide their emotions constantly. When we show our emotions we are looked down at or we are looked at as weak. I can see where they are coming from personally from when I was a child especially. When I was a child, I didn’t hang out with other boys as much as I did with girls. This led to people getting mad at me since I was talking to the girls. I didn’t mean to do this, I just wanted to talk to people who were nice but the boys weren’t. Another thing is that when I was in kindergarten, I cried when I got hurt. Some of the people were coming up and asking me if I was okay but I remember that there were this group of boys laughing at me and calling me weak. This didn’t affect me because I don’t care but it goes to show that boys do have standards that you may not see at eye.

Nowadays, everything can be posted on social media and everything is now a sensitive topic, like saying a joke can be offensive ya, but I’m not being mean on purpose it’s a joke. Everything to do with cancel culture can be very stupid sometimes and I have to be careful with what I say now because I might offend someone by accident. I think it’s very confusing because I can’t completely be myself, because I have to be careful to not offend anyone.

I understand where there coming from, that people think there something going on, but if they know that your close friends they will understand. When I was going to a huge sleepover with 2 other friends some of the boys wished they could come instead of saying “Oh something else my happen” if you know what I mean. Deep down if someone say that they don’t mean it they know you’re going to have fun with the boys.

  • One of the points made was peer pressure. I think peer pressure exists and it could be a very serious problem especially when it's something bad. People could be forcing you to do something and you might feel like if you don't do it, you’re not accepted in the group. Personally I haven't had an experience like that but it does happen to many people.

  • My first added step would be to find something else either than social media rather than using it. It can help because maybe if you have a passion for art and you want to show it off to everyone, you don’t have to. Just because you want to get other people’s acceptance for you to feel better about yourself does not make it better. My next step is to reflect on your day after without social media. “Do I feel better without it?” “How much has it changed me?”. By reflecting, you recognized the problem and you are acting on it. It helps with wellness because you are spending less time being less productive, and actually doing something productive and trying to work on the problem.

For example, 40% offline adults have experienced online harassment, 73% have witnessed online harassment, and 100 % of the time, it is worse if you are female, LGBTQ, and or a person of colour. https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459108190 - PETAR ANDONOV ]]> 2021-04-26 12:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459108190 nathanial k https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459109976 I think social media apps make people less social, this is because people on social media either prefer talking online and choose not to talk in person, or have used social media so much that they have lost most of their abilities to speak to others in person.]]> 2021-04-26 12:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459109976 https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459110475 6.  I agree with what say because most of its true a lot of kids during parties will do out of the ordinary things like drugs and drinking. ]]> 2021-04-26 12:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459110475 Julian https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459112014 Online harassment is a full blown mental health issue for everyone including LGBTQ and Racism.

This is the same case if you give someone suffering from a drug addiction more drugs, it makes the person even more addicted and makes their addiction even worse.

Others see the highlights of other people’s lives and wonder why they aren’t doing something like that. This causes the person looking at the post to feel depressed, and wish they were the one in the photo or video. The part I don’t agree with is that the person is left feeling depressed and does nothing about it. I often saw highlights of other people after accomplishing something, and instead of depressingly sitting there and doing nothing, I decided I was going to do something about it so that I could be just as happy as them. I’m talking about school grades though, I’m realistic and know that I can’t become a multimillionaire celebrity just for trying to become one. For the people who look at the celebrity highlights and feel saddened, they need to understand that the celebrities their looking at are few among the billions of people in this world, and if they can’t see that, that’s when the depression turns into a full-blown mental issue.]]> 2021-04-26 12:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459145735 Matthew G https://padlet.com/aammaarraallaa/socialmediause/wish/1459146439 1.       I agree that people post there highlight reels because that is when there looking there best, and they think that there a one up from others.

I added those because who cares what other people think, At the end of the day their bad guys because there judging you. Also, you get cyber- bullied because you spend too much time up there and you post too much of your opinion, whatever you say now a days can go against you because we live in such a sensitive world were everything you say can get you in trouble.

Online, I’ve seen a lot of people try and take others information and possibly steal from people. That’s why online, you should always know how to stop a possible hacker, because if you don’t, it could be a lot more than your mental health that will be ruined.  
    The second step is to know who you're talking to. Online, people scam and take from others, that’s why it always good to know who you're speaking with. If you don’t know the person you're talking to in real life, limit the conversation in order to protect yourself and possibly others.
