THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF COMPARISON
Social media can induce this in us in 3 steps:
👉 It exposes us to the curated life of someone else. We compare our messy inside to their perfect outside, get triggered by the “Someone better will take all the love away” story we internalized from childhood, and feel like a complete loser.
👉 It gives us the chance to create a curated life on the web. So we can get “likes” to compensate for our lack of self-worth. Meanwhile, our perfect photos trigger somebody else and make them feel like complete losers.
👉 Repeat step 1.
What a downward spiral to hell. If we’re not careful, we can get stuck in it for a long, long time.
What is the way out?
Should we build a sack in the woods, become a hermit and abandon modern society?
Good news: we dont have to!
