September Gen Z Pick: Do you feel social media helps or hurts your self-worth

Let’s talk self-worth, because scrolling on social media today is more than just likes and memes—it’s shaping how we see ourselves. For Gen Z, the line between online validation and real-life confidence is blurry, and every post, story, or comment can feel like a mirror reflecting back on who we are.

So what’s really happening when we scroll, post, and compare? Does social media empower us to express ourselves authentically, or does it quietly chip away at our confidence? This survey dives into the real impact of social media on Gen Z’s sense of self—how it uplifts, how it pressures, and how we navigate it all.
