Is social media making us unhappy?

The fact that you allready compare to others without social media, is sad enough. Be happy with what you got in the first place, and work your way up. Your heart is not beating for others you know. 😉

[@goduxunike]

I decided to consciously keep in touch with my friends during social distancing (through text, phone calls or facetime) and I came to realise how superficial Instagram can be. Yeah, I know what's up in people's lives but how many of them would reach out to me personally and vice versa?

[@katybennett1248]

So true! You think they are friends and really close with you but as soon as it’s not forced face to face to try look nice they don’t text you first

[@Jdjwjdjzbsjwbb]

True af

[@divine1562]

So true! People can like your pictures etc..but how many truly care to reach out !

[@workforlife40]

I ever never use insta . I don't wanna know about others personal life. If we on insta our mind defenetly compare with anyone's life it's nature. Only think about our life . self care isn't selfish. Life is beautiful travel with your goals. You don't wanna know people about what you're doing. 💜

[@user-op4rv3zj4c]

I have seen stories on crime shows of people who showed a perfect life on social media, videos and pictures of the two loving each other and pictures of their kids and their homes and cars and vacations etc.. then a crime happens and the police an people realized that it was a broken home with a lot of problems, husband ended up killing his wife and children like the Watts family, or wife ended up killing her husband because she was with another man or a son/daughter kills his parents... it’s insane . After everything I saw online and learned in the past few years , I realized that social media is very fake and a lot of people are depressed but they portray this happy life. Many people are miserable. Never compare your lives to anybody, be happy, disconnect from social media and love yourselves, work on yourselves and improve your lives, befriend people who share the same interests as you do, have friends that don’t go on social media. Be happy and get to know God, He created you for a purpose, you are beautiful/handsome don’t compare yourselves to others.

Social media is curse for pure hearts we didn't even realize how many hearts are broked everyday due to relationship disputes people really into materials and looks God 💔

[@user-op4rv3zj4c]

[@user-op4rv3zj4c]

Ask yourselves: What am I gaining from being on social media? You are wasting a lot of time, you are comparing yourselves to others, you are getting depressed, it’s negatively affecting your relationship with others etc .... QUIT social media and work on yourselves, spend that time to exercise, eat healthy, spend more time with your family, use that time to do something to generate an income or something that will benefit you and make you happy. Be happy. Take care of your mental health and work on your spirituality too. To be happy you should work on the physical, mental and spiritual. Get to know your creator and change your friends if they are dragging you down and making you feel bad, look for those who will encourage you and motivate you, those who will help you move forward. Get rid of toxic friends,of toxic relationships, of toxic environment such as changing jobs if your work environment is toxic etc etc . Be happy. Life is too short and it’s scary how we can leave this world in a blink of an eye, so many people today are dying today at a young age (heart attacks, cardiac arrests, shootings, car accidents etc ), you don’t know when your time is up, are you going to waste it on comparing yourselves to strangers on social media? A lot of what is posted on Facebook and Instagram is fake, too much photoshopping, too many filters used , too many lies etc. None is perfect. Your lives are probably much better than theirs. Fix your relationship with God, God is not Jesus and Jesus is not God, Jesus is not the son of God, Jesus was a prophet and angel Gabriel is the Holy Spirit. Read chapter 19 in the Quran about Jesus. Quit social media and Be happy.
