Ever scrolled through your feed and felt a pang of envy? We’ve all been there. Seeing those “perfect” lives can make us doubt our own, but guess what? It’s not real!
Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and Joann ‘JoJo’ Venant discuss how social media is a highlight reel, not the whole story. Those cute kid pics? You didn’t see the meltdowns that happened right before!
So, how do we stop the comparison game?
- Limit your scroll time. Less time online means less time comparing yourself to others. Set a timer, or even take a social media break!
- Clean up your feed. Unfollow those accounts that make you feel bad. Fill your feed with positive people and things that make you smile.
- Count your blessings. Focus on what you have, not what you lack. Gratitude is a game-changer for happiness.
And here’s a bonus tip from JoJo : Everyone’s struggling with something.
Those “perfect” people online have their own problems, they just don’t post them.
So let’s be real with each other. Share your experiences in the comments – let’s create a space where we uplift each other instead of comparing ourselves.
