I heavily believe that it depends on your person. For example, there are some very anxious people, especially kids, and they feel very far away from the satsum, they think they’re weird. And sometimes it’s not just they feeling some very mean, rude, ignorant people, make them feel that way. Some things like bullying, arguing, made them anxious and scared of other people that they started to find support, find friends online. But there are still strong people. For example, they could be popular in their local community. So social media is not an obstacle for them. Otherwise, it just boosts their ego. They usually pause themselves and they can have some online friends and that don’t stop them from being socially relevant in their real life. So in my view, in my opinion, it really depends on your personality, on people around you and your confidence.

I believe that it depends on the person. For example, there are some very anxious people, especially kids, who feel very far away from the status quo; they think they're weird. Sometimes it's not just their feelings; some very mean, rude, ignorant people make them feel that way. Things like bullying and arguing make them anxious and scared of other people, so they start to find support and friends online. But there are still strong people. For example, they could be popular in their local community, so social media is not an obstacle for them. Instead, it boosts their ego. They usually post about themselves and can have online friends, which doesn't stop them from being socially relevant in their real life. In my view, it really depends on your personality, the people around you, and your confidence.
