Even though there are so many benefits to our favorite apps like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, we can easily start comparing ourselves to everyone else we see, whether it’s what they’re doing, how they look, or how many likes or comments they receive. What we forget, however, when scrolling through our newsfeeds, is that what we see on someone’s social media is carefully chosen, crafted and posted by its author. We all choose what we put out there on the internet and most of us choose to paint ourselves in a positive light.
We have to stop comparing yourself to other people. We can never know their real story, so we have to focus on our stories, on our lives. Perfection doesn’t exist. We can only do our best, seek out joy, and share love with others. If comparison is something you struggle with, put down your phone and spend some time away from the screen and you’ll start feeling better about who you are and stop worrying about everyone else.
