Ever scroll through social media feeling great — then suddenly not so much? 📱😬 There’s a reason for that. Thomas Mann observed that our capacity for discontent is directly tied to the intensity of our desires and attachments.
Leon Festinger’s Social Comparison Theory backs this up: the wider the gap between where you are and where you think you should be, the greater the dissatisfaction. 📉
The antidote isn’t to stop scrolling cold turkey — it’s to get curious.
What are you actually desiring when you compare? And is it something truly attainable? 🌿 A little awareness goes a long way.
