This document discusses how social media has influenced interpersonal relationships over the last 10 years from sociological and psychological perspectives. While social networks allow people to connect online, some research has found they can negatively impact well-being by triggering feelings of inadequacy or jealousy from social comparisons. However, social networks are simply a tool and whether relationships improve or worsen depends on balancing online and in-person interactions. Both positive and negative effects on relationships have been seen, so more research is still needed on controlling interpersonal ties in the digital age.
