Steffy Moreno's experiences with social media highlight the complex and multifaceted nature of social media's impact on mental health. Her social media posts often present a curated view of her life, showcasing her beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. However, in interviews and public statements, Steffy Moreno has been open about her struggles with anxiety, depression, and body image concerns. Her experiences suggest that social media can have both positive and negative effects on mental health.
This paper draws on the social comparison theory (Festinger, 1954) and the concept of online identity (Goffman, 1959). Social comparison theory suggests that individuals evaluate themselves by comparing themselves to others. Social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook provide a curated view of others' lives, fostering unrealistic comparisons and promoting feelings of inadequacy (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010). The concept of online identity suggests that individuals present a curated version of themselves online, which can lead to feelings of disconnection and isolation (Goffman, 1959).
