Excessive internet use raises stress and loneliness
A report from the German University of Duisburg-Essen reveals that excessive internet use is linked to increased stress levels, deteriorating mood, social isolation, and neglect of daily activities. The study surveyed 900 adults in Germany during 2025, all of whom engaged in online gaming, social media, or online shopping at least once. The findings highlighted that users with problematic internet use exhibit higher stress levels, experience declines in social and daily activities, with increased screen time and worsening mood. Problematic internet use is considered a factor contributing to psychological and social issues, and its negative impact on quality of life is warned against.
