A woman shared how she is obsessed with strangers and addicted to see what they are doing with their lives on social media, and she ends up being envious.
Here is the story:
I obsess over strangers
Anyone else constantly comparing their lives to people on social media? Just me?
I have a decent life. I’m a happily married stay-at-home mum, with a beautiful house and the husband and children I’ve always dreamed of so why am I always so fixated on what other people are doing?
I’m happy with my life until I get on social media and see other people getting new cars or going on family vacations or even just posting cute family pics and then I get so envious.
Is something wrong with me or is this normal? How do I enjoy my own life AND be happy for others when they experience good things instead of the “why not me” feeling? It’s so ugly.

You gotta take a break from social media. Its a constant comparing game seeking validation from strangers. I just deleted my instagram and tik tok, and I already feel a lot better about myself
It’s pretty normal to feel that way, but that doesn’t make a good thing. Social media is where everyone posts stuff that makes their lives look great. It’s not an accurate representation of what’s really going on in their lives. Sometimes information avoidance is the route to go for lack of a better method.
Delete It all. It’s the worst. My overall mental health has gotten so much better. Since then I’ve found it easier to give up other bad habits as well. It’s insane how much of an effect social media has on our brains.
