To look at the relationship between young individuals emotions of loneliness and social media addiction. The study comprised individuals from all around India who were between the ages of 19 to 26. The majority of participants are from north-eastern India, specifically Nagaland. The remaining were dispersed using an online technique among the states of India, encompassing the north, south, and north-east areas. There were 159 young people in the sample, ranging in age from 19 to 26. A target population consisting of 60 men and 80 women. Young individuals were given questionnaires via Google form as part of the data collection procedure. The study provides evidence supporting the hypothesis that higher levels of social media addiction are associated with increased feelings of loneliness among young adults. The findings underscores the need for further research into the mechanisms underlying this relationship and suggests implications for interventions aimed at promoting healthier social media habits to mitigate potential negative impacts on mental well-being, particularly in terms of loneliness.
