@mindsnippetsmedia: Ever scroll through social media and feel like everyone's doing better than you? That's Social Comparison Theory. 🧠 In 1954, psychologist Leon Festinger proposed that we evaluate ourselves by comparing to others. But today? Social media supercharges this - you're comparing your everyday life to everyone else's highlight reel. Research by Vogel et al. (2014) and Krasnova et al. (2013) shows this often leads to lower self-esteem and life satisfaction. What helps you remind yourself that social media isn't real life? 👇 #psychology #socialcomparison #psychologyfacts #relatable #mentalhealthtips
