Social media profiles often portray an idealized version of people's lives, showing only the best moments and happiest times. This creates a perception of perfect lives and can cause distress as people compare their real lives to these inflated online images. Studies show that spending time on social media can leave one third of users feeling more dissatisfied with their own lives after viewing curated profiles that emphasize positive events and accomplishments. Teenagers may be especially vulnerable to these pressures as they are still forming their identities.
