How Does Social Media Affect Our Identity?

Imagine you have a magic mirror that lets people see only your best moments. Social media is like that mirror, it shows your smile, your laugh, and your party photos, but not the times you feel sad or tired. Over time, you might start believing you're always happy, even when you're not. That's how social media can change who we think we are.
