You begin to question yourself. You are wondering why your friends are living such a charmed life. You remain oblivious to the fact that social media only showcase the aspects that are worth sharing or posting.

Engage yourself in activities that will make you enjoy your life more such as taking a walk or reading a good book.

Keep yourself busy and think of things that will divert your attention from checking your social media accounts.
