Similar ideas to Recipe for unhappiness
Social media is a great contributor as to why our expectations to ourselves and towards other people is damaging.
We often tend to compare ourselves with other people online regardless of who they may be. We tend to forget that we compare our worst moments to somebody else's best.
More often than not, we compare ourselves with others, based on what society says, how other people are living, and what the majority thinks of as success.
There is no need to spend the best hours of our best days just comparing our success with other people.
