How can esports players cope with the social media impact?
Social media can help esports players connect with their fans, peers, and supporters, as well as express their emotions, opinions, and achievements. However, social media can also have some negative effects on individuals, such as disrupting their sleep quality, triggering social comparison, exposing them to criticism and harassment, and distracting them from their personal goals. Therefore, gamers need to manage their social media use in a way that maximizes the benefits and minimizes the risks. They can do this by setting boundaries and limits on when and how much they use social media, choosing the platforms and content that are most relevant and positive for them, seeking feedback and support from trusted sources, developing a positive self-image and self-esteem, and using social media as a source of inspiration and motivation.
