Abstract
Social media is rapidly being used for a range of purposes, including communication, education, collaboration, and a variety of other factors that have had an impact on society throughout time. Even while it has become widespread, it is also a double-edged sword that may lead to negative repercussions such as social media addiction if not managed properly. Despite this, little attention has been dedicated to explaining the components that lead to social media addiction and dependence. This study will investigate the interaction between social media and people by investigating the influences and consequences of social media use on the behaviour of social media users, as well as interpretations of the beliefs that individuals hold about social media addiction and addiction to other forms of media. It is based on a survey on the topic that enabled people to express their opinions on social media use and responses. The survey was conducted online. People aged 18 and above who lived in Bangkok and the Metropolitans of 150 individuals were surveyed regarding their social media usage habits, including how they responded to which social media resources they used, and about their social media usage behaviours that were negatively correlated with the balance of their social media usage habits.
