"Social media are making me constantly stressed by making me ask myself questions whether I'm good enough in some field or a sphere of life, what ends up in comparing myself to strangers (or rather their online creation). When I see someone show off their exciting and vibrant social life, I feel very lonely and I keep asking myself why I'm invisible in some people's eyes. When I see someone sharing their opinions on some important and complicated topic, I feel like I'm myself preoccupied with things that don't matter, which makes me feel less intelligent. When I see a person my age, who had an "easier start in life", is accomplishing successes in his career, I begin to feel like a less significant person. When I see people who became independent quickly, I feel like a loser still living with my mom. Social Media feed by insecurities what keeps me from being spontaneous, motivated, and happy. Procrastinating, I scroll through a feed of an unknown person, I start to feel even worse."
