Is Social Media Making Your Jealous?

Is social media making you jealous? I know it can. Whenever I scroll through Facebook or Instagram seeing my friend's holiday pictures, food, gatherings etc. I wondered about my existence, and there is always a sense of jealousy building up inside me.

A little bit of envy may be good, because it motivates us to try harder. When it is too much, it mentally cripples us, and we become angry at everything. As you scroll through social media, be happy with other's success. They may have overcome a great deal to reach that point. Be happy for them. Be inspired.

Jealousy is poisonous. It lingers in your mind after you stop scrolling. Instead of scrolling, learn something new or call someone that you care. Your life should exist outside of social media.
