Social media is training us to compare our lives, instead of appreciating what we are.

[Cmilll6]

"You see, the thing with social media is that most people present the "best version" of who they are.
Nobody here is sharing their dark moments or hardships. It gives the illusion that their life is "perfect" when in reality we all go through things that challenge us to do & become better.
Comparing your life to others has become so easy, a simple click that makes you feel like you're not good enough, you're not having as much fun, or your life might be boring...etc
All of this comparison actually affects your self-esteem and confidence level. Nobody can be better than yourself and I mean no one. Don't buy into the illusion, because the person that has the most likes, might be the loneliest.
The person who constantly shares their relationship, might have the most problems.
The person who always "appears" to be the happiest might be the most depressed. You just don't know.
Never judge and compare your life to others, you don't know the depths of what one is going through. Appreciate yourself and work on being the best that you can always be."- Unknown

Instead of worrying about it, get off it.

I have been completely off of the social media sites for over a year. It's fantastic. I am not in touch with anyone I don't actually give a crap about. I highly recommend it.

My life is no one else's business. Being social at all generally sucks so I don't really see the point in being part of a website that makes it easier.
