I Often Feel Inadequate and Anxious When i see my Friends’ Seemingly Perfect Lives on Social Media. how can i Stop Comparing Myself to Others and Focus on my own Journey?

Dear friend, I completely understand how you’re feeling. It’s natural to experience moments of self-doubt when we’re constantly exposed to curated highlights of others’ lives. Remember, social media is often a ‘highlight reel’ that doesn’t show the full picture. Your journey is unique and valuable, just as you are. Here are some gentle suggestions: 1) Practice gratitude daily by noting three things you’re thankful for in your own life. 2) Set boundaries with social media – perhaps limit your usage or unfollow accounts that trigger negative feelings. 3) Celebrate your own achievements, no matter how small they may seem. 4) Remember that everyone has struggles, even if they’re not visible online. You are enough, just as you are. Your worth isn’t determined by likes or followers, but by the beautiful, authentic person you are becoming every day. Be kind to yourself, and trust in your own path.
