    Social media has led to increased narcissism according to research. Over 3.6 billion people use social media daily and 92% of adolescents go online daily seeking attention, sympathy and admiration through carefully crafted posts, filters and hashtags. Algorithms on platforms like Facebook and Instagram control behaviors and dictate emotions based on responses like likes and comments, promoting grandiose feelings of self-importance. Research shows narcissism develops over time as posting frequency increases due to this focus on public perception and validation. While free expression is allowed, people should manage what they post and focus on meaningful goals rather than attention and power seeking behaviors.

    Persuasive Speech
    “Social Media: The Cause of Narcissism”

    Fresh from the bed, get your phone, take a selfie, choose the best filter, type #WOKE UP
    LIKE THIS, or FEELING GOOD TODAY. But wait, let me put some winking face and a heart
    emoji. Done!. I just need to hit that post button, and there you go. My life is now all-over my
    followers, the country, and even the world.

    Let me ask you something, do you feel happy every time someone likes your photo? Do you
    even wait for the flood likes and comments to come? We can’t change the fact that humans are
    now socially connected through technology and tend to get different feelings digitally.
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    According to the study of Tankovska, in 2020, over 3.6 billion people were using social
    media worldwide. 92% of adolescents aged 13 to 17 go online daily,

    Social media is ever-evolving platform we had. It allows us to promote businesses, share


    ideas & thoughts, and SEEK FOR ATTENTION and SYMPATHY. Examples of this are the
    famous Facebook (like the diary of life) and Instagram (our lifetime photobook). Platforms that
    allow us to connect to other people displaying what we all have. These algorithms control our
    lives, behaviors and dictate us when to be happy or sad.
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    YES! By looking at other people’s content, downward comparison (thinking others are
    worse off), and seeing yourself as an important factor that is always needed to be seen and
    known by other people, involve the degree of what we call, GRANDIOSE FEELINGS OF
    SELF-IMPORTANCE, THE NEED FOR POWER OR ADMIRATION, ENTITLEMENT,
    AND SELF-ABSORPTION, all falling under the umbrella of NARCISSISM

    Research says that narcissists develop over time as the frequency of posts increases.
    Truly, every post we had is equivalent to how many likes, loves, comments we will give and
    receive, affecting one’s behavior and well-being. Yes! Social Media is the cause of narcissism
    _____________________________________________________________________________

    But please do remember that you are free to post what you want and express yourself
    differently. Though, manage the information you are posting to the public. Focus on the main
    goals of sharing, inspiring, and informing. And break the mentality of posting something just to
    be the center of attraction, exert power, , and intimidate others.
