4.Misrepresentation: Individuals may represent themselves in social media using filters, even posting the false content to create a more favourable image and this can lead to disappointment when real person doesn’t match with social media person. For every situation there will be both positive impact and negative impact, we must balance them, and we have to overcome the negative impacts. we can use social media, but up to limited extent only. Excessive usage of social media leads to distance relationship and even destroys our bond, and we have to live lonely.
