      abstract = {In the contemporary digital era, the fabric of human interaction has been fundamentally altered by the proliferation of social media, profoundly shaping how individuals communicate, form relationships, construct identities, and evaluate self-worth. Among the various population groups, college and university students represent the most engaged demographic in online spaces, making them particularly vulnerable to the psychosocial impacts of constant connectivity and digital comparison (Smith & Duggan, 2013). One of the most notable psychological consequences of this transformation is the way individuals perceive themselves and others, particularly in terms of self-esteem and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) — two constructs that are gaining increased attention in psychological literature due to their influence on well-being, interpersonal functioning, and academic outcomes. According to Rosenberg (1965), self-esteem is conceptualized as a person’s global evaluation of their worthiness, incorporating both feelings of self-love and beliefs in personal competence. It is not merely a static trait but a dynamic and socially-influenced psychological construct shaped by external validation, interpersonal feedback, and comparative experiences (Mruk, 2006; Crocker & Park, 2004).},
