Self-Comparison on Social Media
Social media comparison is the habit of measuring your own life against the curated highlights others post online, and it reliably skews toward making you feel worse. The good news is that small, deliberate changes to how you use these platforms can meaningfully reduce its grip. If you've been feeling behind, in your career, your relationships, your body, your happiness, after a few minutes of scrolling, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone.
