      I used to scroll through Instagram for hours and compare myself to influencers. It made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. What helped me was following more body-positive pages and limiting screen time. Real life isn’t filtered!

      TikTok really messed with how I saw myself. All those “glow-up” trends made me feel like I had to change. Lately, I remind myself that most of what we see is edited or staged. I started journaling, and it’s helping a lot.

      I used to think everyone had a perfect life except me. But now I know most people only show the good parts. Talking to real friends helped me understand that.
