I’m not on Facebook or Instagram anymore - that’s not entirely true. I have a Facebook account but deleted the app. I still have Instagram but I use it for workout motivation, funny videos. The list goes on. But I don’t post anything, I barely watch anyone’s stories anymore and if somebody comes across my FYP that triggers me in anyways I block them. You’re in control of what you want to post/ what you see on social media.

Yeah It can be useful especially when it comes to spreading awareness about something. The quickest way is through social media. Honestly I felt the same way you did even though I knew that a lot of those people were not that perfect but it brought me down. Not only that but I would spends hours obsessing over someone who I don’t know or something that I don’t have. Why waste my time on that? Make more time for yourself.

If it is causing you to feel this way shut it off. For a week, a month however long you need to. Unfortunately even without social media those feelings won’t go away . I still get jealous or feel insecure but it definitely doesn’t feel as heavy . There is always going to be someone more this or that than you. But you kind of have to get to a point where you’re content with yourself that that doesn’t bother you anymore and I think it’s much easier to become this way when you don’t have what’s making you feel insecure in the first place, shoved in your face alll day
