Endless Comparison

Ever find that you've lost hours browsing social media on the endless supply of content?

There’s another thing that can be “endless” as well: the comparisons between your life and other people’s lives.

It’s easy to conclude that everyone else’s lives are beautiful and perfect and yours is a mess.

But this is an illusion.

The posts most people publish are the “highs” of their lives and not the bad or even normal parts.

Perhaps much of the reason social media increases the risk of depression and anxiety is due to this comparison of false realities. Don’t let this unrealistic illusion paint your perception of the world.
