Abstract: Social media has undeniably transformed the landscape of interpersonal communication, revolutionizing how individuals connect, interact, and relate to one another. Its pervasive influence has brought both opportunities and challenges to the way people communicate. On one hand, it has broken geographical barriers, allowing for instantaneous global connections and continuous communication irrespective of distance. It has facilitated the initiation and maintenance of relationships, enabling sharing of experiences, thoughts, and emotions in real time. However, this digital evolution has also introduced complexities. The brevity and informality of online communication, the emphasis on visual content and the curation of personas present challenges in interpreting emotions and intentions accurately. Moreover, the public nature and permanence of interactions sometimes lead to misunderstandings or conflicts. Social media's impact on interpersonal communication reflects a paradigm shift, where adaptability, digital literacy, and a balance between online and offline interactions are essential for navigating this evolving landscape.
