Humans are social creatures and they behave differently in Public and Personal environments. We often see some entirely different presentation of people’s self on social networking sites and vice versa some perfectly normal behavior which can be termed as Cyber Psychology. The positive, normal emotions reflect the good side of online behavior; some have peculiar likings which others term as weird and abnormal and are categorized as the bad side, whereas there are some loony, extremist and illegal characters which depict the ugly psychotic side of the cyber behavior. Cyber Psychology is a fairly new, intriguing and trending field of study with seamless integration of human mind and digital actions. It is directly related to our mental health trying to sync with emerging technology. During the pandemic people spent maximum time online and it showed new perplexed and exponential trends in cyberspace.
