Dear Sofioula,
thank you for your response! Indeed, what people put out on social media is not always a reflection of their true reality. So if the content from someone makes me feel bad, I will stop watching them. Sometimes it can be inspiring though for me. The main problem with social media for me however is over-indulging. So I now try to at least not go online in the morning, so I can concentrate better.
About comparison: yes, I still fall into this trap from time to time! Sometimes I look at people, they seemingly have their life together. But who knows how it really is for them? And what their life has been so far? We are all born in different circumstances and with different personalities, so comparison is not helpful. I try to only compare myself with myself now (am still working on it).
During the last year, I have become better at accepting myself. My perfectionist tendencies get in the way at times, but I’m getting better.
I wish you a good day!
