The internet has become an integral part of human life, including in Indonesia, with teenagers as one of its active users. Teenagers use the internet for various purposes such as studying, playing games, and social media. This research aims to describe social media addiction and the dynamics of loneliness in adolescents who are addicted to social media. This research uses a qualitative approach with two subjects who are social media addicts. Data was collected through structured interviews with subjects and those closest to them. The results showed that both subjects spent significant time on social media, which affected their social life and daily activities. Loneliness was found to be a major factor driving excessive use of social media. Both subjects felt lonely and found escape in social media. Family relationships and a less supportive social environment exacerbate this condition. This research suggests the need for interventions to reduce social media addiction and improve the quality of adolescents’ social relationships.
