“Social media may have an indirect effect on happiness by displacing other activities, like in-person interactions, exercise or sleep that are crucial for mental and physical health,” that report found.Anyone who has frequented the endless content feeds of social media platforms has likely experienced moments of heightened stress, screen addiction and increased anxiety. Some of these concerns are meta, like worrying about living too much of your life online.
At its core, the metaverse strives to offer more opportunity, stronger communities, less surveillance, and ultimately, more freedom. This is similar to how non-fungible tokens and Web 3 leverage the power of decentralization to break down digital barriers and challenge gatekeepers. But if the metaverse is to provide salvation for the trials and tribulations of the internet as we know it , should we not also be concerned? Social media both increases anxiety and happiness – is that true too for another, heightened form of the internet that promises not just social experiences but life-like ones?First, we must remember: Too much of anything can be unhealthy, whether it's time online or, for example, in the gym.
The article also quoted a psychology professor at the University of Oregon, who theorized that"a young person who may be LGBT and who finds an online context where they can feel a sense of social support – we would predict that that would be a benefit for their mental health."Like anything, balance is key, and the pendulum can swing both ways.
