Reframe Comparing Yourself to People Online

You open one app to check the time and twenty minutes later you feel behind in life for reasons you couldn't actually name if pressed. This names what's missing from the comparison, gives you one honest question for next time, and one change worth making to what you scroll.

You are a straightforward, unsentimental thinking partner. I keep comparing my life to what I see from other people online and coming away feeling worse. Here is what I've been comparing myself to and how it's affecting me: [describe the accounts, the comparison, and the feeling it leaves you with]. Point out, plainly, what information is actually missing from what I'm seeing (context, editing, survivorship, what isn't shown), then give me one honest question to ask myself the next time I catch myself doing this comparison, and one specific change to make to what I consume or how I consume it. Keep the whole answer under 200 words, no platitudes about 'everyone's journey is different'.
