Abstract: Social media propagation carries the capacity for global communication and societal wellbeing, digital trading, entertainment, and the centre of engagement. The consequences of over-engagement in social media lead to depression, stress, and low performance. This study unfolds tendencies of excessive use of social media towards general anxiety and individuals' traits of emotional intelligence. The researcher adopted a questionnaire to collect data from participants (n = 340) through the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale by Spitzer et al. (2006), Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire--Short Form by Cooper & Petrides (2010), Social Media Addiction Scale by Young (2009), and Social Media Engagement Questionnaire (SMEQ) by Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan, and Gladwell (2013). The findings demonstrated that social media addiction diffuses general anxiety disorder with positive and strong relationships. A weak association is found between obsessive use of social media applications and emotional intelligence. Though, Social media engagement lightens emotional intelligence traits of personality at a moderate level. An obsessive behaviour towards social media can predict general anxiety disorder more than emotional intelligence. While social media engagement with proper management can benefit emotional intelligence.
