90% of Adults Use Social Media — Is It Improving Your Life?
💡 Are your daily scrolls helping connection or harming wellbeing?
Surveys show roughly 90% of adults use social platforms to stay informed, connected, and entertained. But while social media can boost relationships and access to communities, many users also report distraction, sleep disruption, and occasional anxiety. The key is using it intentionally so benefits outweigh the costs.
Start by auditing your feed: mute or unfollow accounts that trigger negativity and follow people who inspire or inform. Set small limits — phone-free mornings or a 30-minute nightly cutoff — and replace passive scrolling with purposeful actions like messaging a friend or reading an article. These simple shifts turn social time into social value.
