Reclaiming Real Life: Social Media on Self-Perception & Relationships
Description:
In this Ollie Pod, we will explore the effects of social media on self-esteem, self-worth, and interpersonal relationships. We'll examine how online personas, constant comparisons, and the pursuit of external validation can distort self-perception and influence how we engage in personal relationships. Through guided discussion, participants will gain insights into the signs of unhealthy social media use, its impact on mental well-being, and strategies for cultivating a healthier self-image and fostering authentic connections. Join us to rediscover the value of real-life interactions.
