About Event

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.

Learning Outcomes:

  • ​Recognise how social media impacts self-perception: Understand how curated content, comparison, and external validation on social media affect self-esteem, body image, and self-worth.

  • Recognise how social media affects relationships: Learn how social media can contribute to misunderstandings and create unrealistic expectations in personal relationships.

  • Develop strategies for building a positive self-image: Discover practical ways to improve self-perception, such as practicing self-compassion and seeking authentic interactions instead of validation on social media.

  • Develop meaningful connections: Learn how to nurture real-life relationships, reduce social media dependency, and foster more genuine connections both online and offline.
