The Impact of Instagram "@Menjadimanusia.Id" on Adolescents' Self-Confidence

Adolescents are individuals who are either in a state of unstable emotional development or whose feelings are subject to interpretation based on what they see, hear, and read. Teenagers' self-confidence can be bolstered by Instagram @menjadimanusia.id, as seen by the comments and conversations on the platform. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how Instagram @menjadimanusia.id, particularly its followers, contributes to the development of teenage self-confidence. Constructivist theory and phenomenological techniques are employed in this study, which takes a descriptive qualitative approach. The symbolic interaction theory is the theory that was applied in this study. The results of this research show that the informants appear more confident in their abilities so that they are much more able to think positively. In addition, they can adapt to the social environment and overcome all problems efficiently. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document study. This is evident from the way the informant experiences self, ideas, and social behaviours. It all begins with the informant's fascination with the feeds, Instagram’s stories, and reels on Instagram at @menjadimanusia.id.
