Social media stimulates reward centers with immediate gratification, rewiring neural pathways in patterns akin to drug addiction. Persistent use degrades white matter in regions governing emotion, attention, and decision-making, leading to addictive behaviors. Constant multitasking reduces the brain’s filtering ability and even induces phantom sensations like false phone vibrations. Additionally, the surge of dopamine from self-centered online interactions not only reinforces personal expression but also enhances the likelihood of forming deeper, successful relationships online.
