Thank you for sharing this important research. As a mom of a daughter with an eating disorder, I am so aware of the harm that social media and the images included of perfect bodies and perfect lives have on everyone but particularly teenage girls. We know so much more about the harm of social media than we know 5 years ago. I hope more research can be done on this important topic.
Thank you for sharing this. Hugs to you and your daughter. I am so glad that you like this new format. Are there studies that you or my other readers are interested in me covering? Please include them in a comment.
This is so helpful! Sometimes it is easy to feel alone in this sentiment even in a sea of people online, but this reminds me we are all human and it is more common than we think.

The new study on Social Media & Self-Esteem sheds light on the intricate relationship between online platforms and personal confidence. As we navigate the digital realm, it's crucial to remember that genuine self-worth transcends virtual validation. Just like Sol vector portrays the sun's unwavering brilliance, our self-esteem should radiate from https://depositphotos.com/vector-images/sol.html, unaffected by external likes and comments.
This newsletter post is so relevant! I've been a user on Tiktok for a while now, and it seems like every week there is a new beauty trend where you show off some facial or body feature that is considered "superior." Super harmful content! I think it is amazing that this study is making us more aware of the actual harm that social media and its trends can do to our self-esteem, especially considering that this study was a causal one! I was surprised, as I feel that usually these kinds of studies are correlational. And what also surprised me was that some of the participants were able to adjust to decreasing social media time. Do you have any advice for those of us who would also like to gradually decrease time spent online? It's definitely easier said than done unfortunately. Thank you for this super informative post!
Thank you for sharing this! It can be so hard to get off of social media, but it's helpful to have information like this to motivate yourself to do what's best for your mental health and wellbeing.
