Assalam Alaikum

First of all, let me introduce myself. I’m Erva Maulidia Umami, student of
Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta majoring in government.

Firstly, I would like to talk the impact of Instagram which can create feelings of
inadequacy and low self-confidence then I will continue to discuss the impact Instagram. Of
course, all of you have Instagram and even spend a lot of time skating on Instagram. There
are 400 million active registered users, No doubt Instagram is now very exciting. National
Geographic started that Instagram has the most potential danger to harm mental health
compared to other social media such as YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter.

Do you know, Status of Mind research states that the use of social media for more
than 2 hours per day can cause excessive anixiety. Even addictions arising from the use of
playing Instagram can potentially cause a low self-confidence effect. No doubt every woman
and man is addicted to post photos on Instagram of course, they choose photos that show the
best of their physical appearance. Besides, prestigious places have become an onslaught of
photo lovers.

Most people like show good physical appearanceand fashion now, so many feel
insecure then feel unconfident themselves because they do not have such a good physical or
not as fashionable as their friends. Similar thing happens to man, when he sees his friend post
a cool car while he does not have it, it will cause low self-confidence and even depression.

When unable to do something that is done by others we will feel less confident and
prone to bullying, for example in terms of followers on Instagram. People are competing to
get followers for self-popularity, they tend to do things that are even beyond reason to get
attention on Instagram. Lacking of self-confidence can cause bullying and even lose
confidence. What's more, if we're having a hard time but see celebrities postings spree
abroad, have fun with friends, and show branded goods. So it is not surprised, if we get sad
and judge us low and will impact less confidence.

In conclusion, Instagram is indeed liked by many people for the event to popularize
themselves, so it becomes an obsession. Instagaram itself indirectly leads you to things that
make a person lose confidence because they feel they are not as good and not as cool as the
people on that Instagram. Indeed, we can not be separated from social media around us but
we can limit it. Do not just because Instagram damages our mental.
