Positive Impact of social media on relationships:
1.More Connectivity: Social media platform allows us to connect more towards our beloved ones regardless of distances. We can now easily connect to our relatives who are living in foreign countries like: USA, London, Australia etc... from India. Also, using social media platform which makes easier to share updates, thoughts and establishes a real-time bond.
2.Meeting our old friend: Social media allows us to reconnect with our old friends, colleagues, schoolmates by which we can re-collect our old memories and we can spend some quality time with our friends.
3.Communication: Social media can be a good way to communicate with our friends and family members. We can use it to send photos, quick messages, and videos within fraction of seconds without any delay.
4.Support: Social media can also be a source of support where we can find a group and communities with people who are going through similar experiences. This can help us feel less alone and more connected and supported.

Negative Impact of social media on relationships:

We spend a lot of time in scrolling through the feed and users may check their social media accounts during their working hours which may lead to distraction and also reduced concentration towards their tasks.        
“An addiction to distraction is the end of your creative production.”

In a family where children have to spend their quality time with their family members, they are spending more time in playing online games and  at small age children are affected by eyesight.                                                                             
3.Insecurity: Sharing our personal information on social media can lead insecurity and hackers may hack our account and steal our personals pics, personal information and lead to conflicts.
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.

1.Set Boundaries: Use social media up to some extent and set boundaries. Social media can help in starting new relationship and that social media can also break our relationship.
2.Open communication: The foundation of any healthy relationship is communication. Start open communication and reduce the digital communication which makes our relationship stronger.
3.Prioritize Real-Life Interactions: Make efforts to prioritize face-to-face interactions and experiences over virtual ones. Spend quality time with our beloved ones without distractions of screens and notifications.
