Using social media isn’t likely to strengthen your friendships and could even make you lonelier.
This is the result of a study published Wednesday in Public Health Reports, the official journal of the US Public Health Service.
Adults with a greater percentage of social media connections whom they hadn’t ever met in person were lonelier.
This was according to the survey of over 1,500 Americans ages 30 to 70 years old.
What’s more, connecting with more close friends on social media didn’t make people less lonely.
Much research shows that having offline friends makes people less lonely.
But connecting with friends online clearly is “just not the same.” (CNN)
