Glenda finds herself constantly checking her phone and thinking about the activities she engages in online. Explain how the following behaviors could have a negative impact on her life, related to her use of social media:

• Ostracism

Ostracism

If Glenda is ostracized, it means that she is excluded from social groups is real life, and this rejection leads her to take refuge in her online presence. It is a negative feedback loop because the more she is ostracized, the more obsessed she because with the online world.

Narcissism

If Glenda is a narcisist, she will use social media to showcase how good or superior she perceives herself to be, and how great her life is in regards to everyone else's life, even if in reality, her life is average, and her personal qualities are not extraordinary. This would cause constant cognitive disonance, self-esteem issues, and obsessive social media use.
