Don’t compare yourself to others

One of the biggest triggers for social media addiction is comparing yourself to others. When you see other people’s lives on social media, it’s easy to compare yourself to them. However, it’s important to remember that what you see on social media is not always an accurate representation of reality. People only post the best parts of their lives on social media, and they often edit or filter their photos. So don’t compare your life to what you see on social media. It’s not a fair comparison. For instance, if you see a friend’s vacation photos on social media, don’t compare your life to theirs.

It might be scary to take a break from social media, but it can be very beneficial. This will give you a chance to reset your relationship with social media and allow you to focus on other things.
