Over the last decade, online social networking has contributed to significant changes in the way people connect and interact. However, it is not clear if any of these changes can affect some normal aspects of human behavior and trigger psychiatric disorders. In addition, most authors have suggested that some social media behaviors may be linked with low self-esteem, particularly in children and young adults. Other research provided contrary findings in terms of the positive effects of social media on self-esteem. Previous research results showed that the use of social media may diminish face-to - face interactions, reduce engagement in physical activities, increase sedentary activity by promoting more screen time, contribute to Internet addiction, and weaken self-esteem by undesirable social comparison.
