<p>The current research study examined the
way one’s relationship with self affects their relational intimacy with others,
while accounting for the role of social media has in influencing this effect.
This study uses self-compassion to examine one’s relationship with self and
expands on the current knowledge that self-compassion influences one’s
relationships. It was hypothesized that self-compassion would be positively
associated with relational intimacy and negatively associated with social media
use. A total of 173 participants contributed to this study. No significant
relationship was found between self-compassion and social media use, as
measured by social media use integration in to social routines and emotional
connection, and integration into social routines. There was a significant
positive relationship between self-compassion and relational intimacy but no
support for social media use was a significant mediating variable.</p>
