Abstract

The development of technology and social media has opened up new opportunities in developing the potential of adolescents, especially for those with introverted personalities. This study examines the role of the TikTok platform in facilitating the self-development of introverted adolescents through the creation of creative content. The main focus of the study is to analyze how TikTok's unique characteristics can support self-expression and the development of social skills in introverted adolescents, while considering the potential risks and challenges that may be faced. Through a qualitative approach with a literature study method, this study analyzed various academic sources published in the last five years, including scientific journals, research articles, and study reports related to introversion, the influence of social media on adolescent psychology, and the impact and benefits of TikTok as a medium for creative expression. Data were collected from leading academic databases and analyzed thematically to identify key patterns and themes in the existing literature. The results of the study revealed several significant findings. First, TikTok has a positive contribution to the development of adolescent creativity, with an influence of 43.2% on the creative abilities of Generation Z. Second, this platform provides a more comfortable space for introverted adolescents to express themselves and interact socially virtually. However, a negative correlation was also found between the intensity of TikTok use and the level of adolescent self-confidence, indicating the need for a balanced approach in the use of this platform.
