Research has shown that college students often engage in "impression management" on social media, presenting a highlight reel of their lives to garner likes, comments, and followers (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010). This performative aspect of social media can lead to both positive and negative consequences, such as increased self-esteem and social connections, but also feelings of anxiety, inadequacy, and FOMO (fear of missing out).
