Social media use 'does not increase stress', study claims

Article

 A new survey has found that people on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter do not experience more stress than digital refuseniks. However, social media users are more aware of stressful events experienced by their online friends, which has been described as the “cost of caring."

I think social media only causes stress for a lot of younger people who have not matured yet. This is because they maybe care too much about what people on social media think. Other people may think social media is just a little fun. I think due to the opportunity cost of going on social media, there is stress because students may think that they have spent alot of time on social media, instead of doing work. This therefore could could cause stress.
