ABSTRACT
Social media is a platform for people to share their varied points of view on life, as well as their experiences, facts, videos, and other information. Digitalization brings the world into more connectivity, increases social diversity and variety, and leads to a significant change in the structure, systems, traditions, and norms. In the twenty-first century, communication is the most important part of social and professional communication. In the last 15 years, social media has changed the way, how we communicate. Faster communication and cheaper ways have become the most valuable things in the modern world. In the past 5 years, Bangladesh has also been influenced by western culture and has seen a rapid growth in social media use. Social media platforms have become deeply integrated into many day-to-day interactions in an increasingly digital society. The vast majorities of Bangladeshis own a Smartphone and use social media on a regular basis. Because of the digital attachment, how the users' emotional well-being as well as offline interpersonal relationships have been impacted by their use of relationships. Social media is the platform for people to share their varied points of view on life, as well as their experiences, facts, videos, and other information. This article explored social relationships in the face of growing dependency on social media or virtual communication. It has also been figured out that the risk factor is mainly related to social media use and spread mainly among youth in Bangladesh. The findings suggest the presence of cyber bullying, hate speech, and blasphemy have been polarizing the relationship in parochial senses - communal, ethnic, lingual, and others. Based on secondary sources, the article indicates the necessity of dealing with several issues like socialization and mental health issues on a national level and how they affect our lives.
Keywords: Social media, Social relationships, Changing social life, and Health impacts.
