This article analyzes the socio-psychological factors underlying the experience of loneliness among young parents under the influence of the virtual world. The intensity of social media use, social comparison processes, identity crisis, emotional strain, and the level of family support are examined as the main determinants of this phenomenon. The study is based on contemporary psychological theories and empirical perspectives.
