Feel jealous when I go on Instagram
Whenever I go on Instagram, I see soo many photos of people with their friends and I automatically compare myself eg. How many comments did that get, who was with them etc..... I feel like my life is so much more boring and I don't have enough friends. How are they always meeting up with their friends and I'm not. Why why why 😭
Why do I feel so jealous and down whenever I go on Instagram? Does anyone else feel like that 😔

I have felt like that. There has been times when I had no friends to go out with and I only had 25 followers on Instagram. I remember making a post that got only 3 likes from family. I got very depressed and I wanted more friends. I saw so many posts of people having friends and hanging out with others but I was always the quiet socially awkward kid that was never missed. I eventually started to make friends online and they have helped me.
I definitely feel you.
How many followers do you have if you don't mind me asking?
Instagram isn’t a realistic representation of real life, people post only the good things they do. I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to think about how many likes/comments a post gets.
What me and my friends do when social media is making us feel bad is we come off it for a while, we would put the apps like Instagram and FB on mute/turn notifications off and stop using them and focused on ourselves irl.
I hope this helps

I agree with this one. Social media only tells the story people want you to hear
Life bragging/lying is about 75% of all social media. Don't compare yourself to works of fiction.

I'm glad I'm not alone
Hope you're okay nowAnswering your q,I have like 200 followers, but don't compare my follower stat to yours- we're probs in diff phases of our life so pls don't compare how many followers I have to you.
In a way its good that you only have a few followers, you don't need to feel the pressure to perfect all your photos xxx
I think whenever I don't go on intsa, i feel a lot better and maybe you should try that too. When you focus on the good in your life the good gets better, really.
