"Everyone around me is successful, but I'm not": how not to get burned by comparisons on social networks
LIGA.Life, together with psychologist Zoya Sitnikova, analyzes why, while scrolling through Instagram or TikTok, we sometimes get stuck between inspiration and depreciation.
Social media is flooded with posts about "successful success" — new achievements, fun hugs, perfect avocado breakfasts.
It seems like everyone around you is living life to the fullest, and you're just watching from the sidelines. And instead of inspiration, anxiety and sadness appear.
Psychologist and CBT therapist Zoya Sitnikova told LIGA.Life why social media feeds sometimes hurt rather than inspire, and what really lies behind these emotions — weakness, envy… or something much deeper.
