I agree with this, I’ve been so much happier since I deleted Instagram.

Yeah, I used to think comparisons were fine, as long as you used them positively and as feedback. But the more I see stuff like this I'm like, the quote "Comparison is a thief of joy" is so true, and the short shows this sooo well

And as someone who used to work for a jewelry store, I must once again remind people that the scarcity for diamonds is fake and their worth is very inflated.

Social media is a high school popularity contest on a worldwide scale.

This is sooo true. But it seams easier to scroll mindlessly on social media, than to figure out what you really want for your life...

[shaunrosenberg]

A lot of successes mean sacrifices in other areas. Sure someone might retire at 35, but they also might have no social life, didn't have kids, and ate a bunch of cheap foods that give them cancer to achieve that. Your goals are not always the same as other people's goals.

one decision that greatly impacted my social and work life was stopping all social media usage.
in 2017 i was going through break up and i decided i don't want to be part of this social media culture. i thought i would return after 12-18 months but in a year itself i forgot about it so much that i just never used apps.
now i have youtube but it's all for work and informative related just like this channel. or related to work (i work as MERN engineer) trying to look for new ways of improving work productivity.

that one decision of not enabling myself to apps helped me so much. so ya the fact that i can sit around comment and do no work and still earn $100/hr is a blessing.
(be noted that to earn that level of money i indeed work hard for last 6-7 years. it didn't happened on it's own)

Problem is that even if you don't judge yourselfs worth in comparison to other people, other people do compare and judge you, and that influences your life, whether you like it or not. :(

I will never understand how others can care about social media. Just go outside and take a walk

I’m a photographer and I want to push myself to get back to collaborations, networking and sharing work (not posting content just cause, I wan to make art) but social media takes big toll on my mental health. I recently cut down on it and it has been helping me A LOT. I feel more motivated, I feel more happier, I become more grounded and less comparison. Thing is I kinda need to use social media to connect and interact with others. I am practicing of how much screen time for it and to mentally prepare myself before using it. I have to remind myself this:
THE INTERNET IS NOT REAL!

I don’t need my own personal billboard . I have seen alot in my family over shared everything and we live in a small town . I figure the people who need to know anything about whats going on in my life have my number.

The average on social media is often fake, or not even average. Most people aren’t like that, most people are living their life.

Damn bro everytime i come to this channel i get hit with another incredible advice

[KenTheAdventurer]

I think this is less to do with social media since it's more about comparing you to others

[RayDawg]

Very true. A lot of people post their best moments of life on their social media yet they don’t even think of posting the worst ones. Social media has become this weird place of people seeking acceptance through other peoples envy.

"Its time you look inwards and ask yourself the big questions. Who are you, and what do YOU want?"

[Leoppassion]

People definitely give social media too much credit, which naturally makes them focus on it, basing their life on a scale, ending up feeding the monster and the vicious cycle continues.
