Mental health and dating apps

The impact of scrolling

Excessive app use can generate anxiety and a sense of loneliness. Set time limits. If you feel your self-esteem depends on the number of messages, it's time for a digital break. Your worth is not an algorithm.

Handling rejection

In the digital world, rejection is often impersonal (ghosting, blocking). Don't take it personally. Strengthen your support network outside of apps and practice self-care. A healthy mind attracts healthy relationships.
