JAKARTA - The large amount of information milling about on social media often causes feelings of insecurity or inferiority to appear in oneself. These feelings are usually present because they compare themselves too much with others. What your friends have on social media, is often a comparison for the success of yourself. As a result, feelings of jealousy will emerge and continue to feel less than others.
In order for your energy not to continue to be drained when you see social media, VOI reported Inspiring Tips, Tuesday, November 1, giving tips on eliminating the feeling of inferior when viewing social media uploads from friends or relatives.
Before overcoming a feeling of inferior, you need to know the root of the problem first. Ask yourself, why does this post make you feel inferior? For example, when a friend uploads a newly purchased house, there is a feeling of jealousy in you. Why did that happen? Is it also your wish that has not materialized to date?
If so, then try to dig back into yourself why that desire has not been fulfilled until now. If your source of income has not fulfilled, then there is no need to be jealous. Just be grateful for what you have right now and work hard to make your dreams come true.
Everyone has a different way of life. It could be that your friend is much more successful financially because after graduating he immediately gets a job that does give him a good salary. And have parents who are able to give him a great opportunity to do business.
Don't be equated with those of you who are born into an ordinary family, and coincidentally, the current work does not really give you a big salary. The point is, there is no need to compare and focus on each other's lives.
Apart from understanding lifelines, you also have to remember your life goals. Posts on social media are likened to an advertisement. Posts of other people can easily convince you that you need to do what they do, eat what they eat, and visit the places they visit. And if you don't do what they do, then you will be left behind.
To avoid fear of being left behind, keep in mind your purpose in life. That way, you won't feel inferior to uploading other people's activities on social media. You can also hold back more from imitating their lifestyles. For example, your friends are married and you haven't. If you feel inferior about this, ask yourself, "Do I really want to get married?" If you really want to live the rest of your own life, then don't make marriage your goal just because of a friend's upload.
Actually, a sense of inferior can be responded to with a more positive mind. You do this by considering other people's success uploads as motivation for yourself. Be sure of yourself if one day you will also be in that position.
Instead of wasting time with your negative thoughts, try to get up and try to achieve success. If you are inspired and motivated, you can improve your quality of life and avoid feeling inferior.
Apart from getting motivation from posts, you can also prevent feeling inferior by understanding the world of social media. Remember that most people only upload the pleasure of their lives on social media. They post edited images. They take hundreds of photos and choose one that is suitable for social media with the portraits that are considered the most perfect.
No need to compare your face to a photo of someone taken with good lighting and automatic photo retouches. Why do you have to compare your ordinary life to other people's attention? Know how the world of social media works, so you won't feel bad about it.
