At the present time, social media has become such an essential part of people's lives that many people start to spend most of their free time on social media. Many people, especially teenagers, appreciate how social media can better connect them with more people. Social media permit many people to talk to others more often, even if they do not have to meet them in person. However, social media also has a dark side that can cause many problems. Social media effectively makes people more isolated and anti-social. Therefore, social media is causing social isolation because it makes people do not have friends, makes people lose social skills, and makes people not fully engage with others.

First, social media can make people do not have friends. Many people believe that social media can expand their relationships with friends because it keeps them in constant contact, but this is not true. Social media can lead to isolation because it makes people have no friends. Additionally, many people report that social media distracts them from talking with their friends. According to research, this new ability to constantly communicate and stay connected online suggests that social media users are interacting less face-to-face than in the past (Kaspersky Lab Study Shows How Social Media Threatens Real-Life Communication, 2017). Researchers found that about a third of people had less communication with parents, partners, children, and friends because they could follow them on social media. Thus, social media can make people do not have friends.

Second, social media makes people lose their social skills. Many people say that social media will help them expand their social skills because they can effortlessly communicate with others through online media. But in reality, social media makes people lose their social skills because of the lack of interaction in real life. Additionally, excessive use of social media makes it harder for people to identify the emotions expressed by the people they talk to. In research from Feliciano (2015), Carothers, who was a clinical psychologist in New York City, said that frequent virtual interactions on social media can cause emotional deficits. In addition, frequent social media usage might cause a lack of emotion expressed and when they face a person face-to-face, they may miss some social cues. For example, many people struggle to have face-to-face conversations due to their dependence on social media. However, they are more focused on checking notifications on their phones than having meaningful conversations with those around them. So, social media can make people lose their social skills.
