Swipe Right for Self-Discovery: Social Media as a Guide to Self-Finding

In an era where discussions about the potential risks and negative impacts of social media are ubiquitous, there arises the necessity to change the paradigm and take a more nuanced view of these platforms. It is often emphasized that social media aims to keep users on their platforms as long as possible by presenting tailored content that aligns with individual preferences and interests. However, this process also harbors the potential for self-reflection and self-discovery.
By consciously engaging with the content presented to us on social media and analyzing our own behavior on these platforms, we can develop a deeper understanding of our own needs, desires, and fears. The goal is to view interaction with social media not merely as passive consumption, but as an opportunity for self-discovery and personal development.
