Do social media trends or pressure influence your real-life decisions?

In today’s digital world, social media isn’t just a way to stay connected—it shapes how we think, what we wear, where we eat, and even how we live. From trending fashion challenges to viral wellness routines, people often find themselves following the crowd. But how much of this is genuine interest, and how much is just pressure to fit in? Many admit they’ve made real-life decisions—from buying a product to joining a movement—just because it was trending online.
 
On the flip side, some people consciously avoid falling into this trap and choose to go their own way. Whether it’s peer pressure, influencer impact, or simply the fear of missing out (FOMO), social media plays a big role in our daily lives. But is it shaping your decisions more than you realize? Be honest—do online trends push you to act differently in real life? Vote now and see what others feel too.
