Social media changes the dynamics of friendship by facilitating instant communication and expanding social networks beyond geographical boundaries. Platforms allow individuals to maintain relationships with friends, family, and acquaintances regardless of distance, fostering a sense of connection. However, social media can also lead to superficial interactions and reduced attention to in-person relationships. Issues such as comparison and social anxiety may emerge, impacting emotional well-being. Despite these challenges, social media continues to shape how friendships are formed, maintained, and experienced in today’s digital landscape.
