Columbia Business School Professor Sandra Matz spoke with Business Insider reporter Henry Chandonnet about how authentic self-expression on social media can promote positive mental health. Matz advised users to be themselves online rather than posting content that feels forced or out of character, noting that authenticity reduces emotional strain and improves well-being. She explained that when people align their online behavior with their true personality, they tend to feel more confident and less anxious—benefits that can extend to professional contexts such as job searches and networking.
