Social networks: if you compare yourself, you destroy yourself
Do you spend hours looking at the lives of others on social media? Do you think they have perfect lives and you always compare them to yours? It seems that for others everything is going well and you wonder why you are not doing so great? That is why I have titled this article, “if you compare yourself you destroy yourself” The truth is that what you see on social networks is sometimes false, other times people do very well in some aspects and only share those positive moments but hide the negative ones. It has become common for everyone to want to share only their good experiences, but this makes you as a viewer imagine an exaggeratedly perfect world and you don’t understand why you cannot be part of it. Although there are accounts of people who show themselves as they are and are dedicated to inspiring others, there is a large part that represents a superficial world and full of vanity. That is why it is important that you learn that not everything you see is the only thing that happens, and try to be select with the content you consume. Another thing you must remember is that the number of likes or followers does not define people and understand that the anxiety generated by wanting to have them (but it is a strategic work objective) has to do with that desire for approval that we have as Humans. But I want you to know that the only approval you should have is your own approval, to love yourself and value yourself, so when you see something exaggeratedly positive you will know how to identify it, even use it to motivate you and not to frustrate you. It will not matter if you share with a large or small community because you will know what you are worth. To start this journey, the first thing you should do is avoid “comparing yourself” and work on your self-esteem. Use social networks to connect with like-minded people, to grow and be of help to others in that way you will give an enriching approach to the influence that the digital world has on your life and your emotions Anabel BriceñoBrand Advisor and Copywriter for M.O.T.M.V.
