Social media is becoming widely popular these days.It has both positive and negative impacts on our interpersonal relationships. On one hand, there are a lot of ways in which everyone’s interpersonal relationships have strengthened. First of all, social media is a common platform to unite both old and new friends.A person can stay in touch with all their friends even if they are not talking to them on daily basis. Furthermore, people have a basic idea of their acquaintance’s life achievements through their social media feeds such as Instagram, Facebook or twitter. Finally, people are so busy in their lives that they don’t have time for their friends and relatives.However, through social media people can still remain connected to each other. So, I believe social media has positively influenced interpersonal relationships. On the other hand, there is also a negative impact on interpersonal relationships due to social media. People have become so busy on their phones because of social media, and they don’t have time for their family. As a result, people are having more difficulties displaying their love and affection in real life. Not only this, but due to social media the amount of in person meetings of people with their friends and relatives have decreased, meaning they feel that they are connected with each other on social media and they become satisfied with the virtual meetings only , which is taking a toll on their interpersonal relationships. In conclusion, social media has both positive as well as negative effects on interpersonal relationships, but if wisely used it can be a blessing.
