Great video man! Yes I totally agree social media can lead to depression and anxiety. There are so many pictures of friends and other people who are having fun, posting pictures where they look the best, etc. And we constantly are comparing ourselves to others, which can lead to depression. Thoughts like, "I am not as good looking as that person, I am not in a relationship like that person, I am still single, that couple got engaged...etc." Thanks for making a video about this important topic! :)

You touched on an important word. Comparation. It is with her that our sense of worthlessness can happen, if we do not have the self-knowledge to understand that we do not have to be the same as the people in the pictures !!

Thank you and good evening!

Agreed! :) Unfortunately it is "human nature" to compare ourselves with those around us. But we don't have to let those comparisons define us. :)

It is true in the effect of social media in life nowadays. I agree with you that we have to learn to see the photos and posting of happiness at social media as ephemeral. And we have to learn to not to compare as what we see in social media is a controlled content. We don't post photos of us getting angry or crying. Most of us just post happy moments.

Thank you for sharing this. In fact, this topic has been in my mind too, but more towards not comparing our lives based on what we see in social media.

See you around here.

Excellent, beautiful Miss Jadeline.

Many thanks for the compliment !! Good Morning!
