Does scrolling through socials ever ruin your mood?

Question

You open Instagram for like five minutes and suddenly everyone's traveling, getting promoted, looking amazing - and you're just sitting there wondering what you're doing with your life.

We all know people only post the good stuff. But does knowing that actually make it feel any better?

How do you deal with it - or do you just keep scrolling anyway?

Sapientia · Accepted Answer

Yes, it does ruin my mood sometimes. However, knowing that people only post the good stuff helps in self-reflection. I don't know what's really going on behind the scenes or even when I do, it's not up to me to judge other people's way of coping in life. Just scroll on or read something interesting/practical. Lol.

I quite imagined life achieving things like that too

Curious_Calico · Answer

I'm happy with those people who achieved something in life. But sometimes I just scroll away if I find myself anxious or envious on their achievements. It's their socials anyways, post whatever makes you happy!

i get excited kasi someday i believe ako naman makakaachieve ng things na yun

WiseLily · Answer

No, I take it as some sort of motivation to achieve the same someday.

Perspective matters. Think of it as a motivation na something you can do in the future rather than compare yourself.

Oo Before, pero magkakaiba ang timeline ng tao and naka-help din tong fave verse ko. Ecclesiastes 3:11. Try to read ❤️

Used to compare a lot, but now I remind myself—God writes different stories for each of us. Hindi man ngayon, but in His perfect time, everything will fall into place. Just keep going, even in small steps 🙏

I stop scrolling and watch a comedy movie or read comedy manhwa/mangga, or make the rest of my day fulfilling, like continuing my online course or clean my room or exercise.
