Social Comparison Theory- Humans are social creatures by nature and as social creatures, comparison to others is inevitable - People use social comparisons to validate their own lives, sometimes unknowingly. The social comparison theory describes how people self-evaluate themselves based on social comparisons to others and encompasses the idea that individuals have a drive to gain accurate self-evaluations about themselves through the comparison of others. With the emergence of so many different types of social media, platforms for social comparison are increasing. Instead of just being able to compare oneself to a person standing in the same room, there are now many social media outlets to exacerbate comparisons with millions of people. Creating Perfect Illusions: The Paradox Effect- The paradox effect involves creating the illusion of having more social engagement, social capital and popularity, but masking one’s true persona with social media. In other words, we are creating an illusion of a life that isn’t real through our online profiles. The person you portray on social media and the true you, can create a double consciousness – Your “self” on social media is constantly seeking more validation through electronic likes, not life. Social media users forget to take into account that a lot of what they are seeing is carefully orchestrated, fake - It's not real life. Everyone, friends, family, and our “selves” tend to only post the best versions of ourselves and our lives. The post you see is most likely the best out of a shoot of 100 - people create perfect illusions of themselves online because they seek attention and want to be viewed positively. No one’s true, unaltered life is ever accurately represented on social media. “Likes”-Social media becomes an extension of our identity - That makes our posts, pictures, and activities like virtual possessions or pieces of ourselves. We make perfect photos, increase our popularity, have the nicest profile, and get the most views and likes. This makes us feel anxiety over how many likes we get after we post a picture - When we post something that doesn't get a lot of likes, we can feel rejected, which causes our self-worth to take a hit. Getting more “likes” than someone else will cause positive feelings of self-worth, while getting fewer “likes” will cause negative feelings of self-worth. A “like” occurs when - and is a way for - an individual to communicate their approval - like an easier visual of approval. Interruption of Life- The good, healthy things about life, like hanging out with friends and family, learning something new in school, watching your kids in a play, or seeing something beautiful in nature, are often interrupted by our social media lives. We are not fully engaged in the healthy activities of life because we want to document them to make us look interesting on social media and we become detached from reality.
