Feeling Like Everyone Online Is Prettier Than You?

Hey girl—
Have you ever scrolled through Instagram or TikTok and thought,
“Why don’t I look like that?”
“She’s so much cooler than me.”
“I’ll never be that pretty/smart/funny.”

You’re not alone. And guess what? That feeling you’re having? It doesn’t mean it’s true.

💡 Social Media Isn’t the Full Story

Most people only post the good stuff. The posed photos. The smiles. The perfect lighting.
What you don’t see are the hard days, the messy hair, the tears, or the moments of self-doubt they feel, too.

So stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s highlight reel.

What To Do When You Start Comparing:

Take a Social Break – Even just an hour or a day away can help.
Say Something Kind to Yourself – Try: “I’m proud of who I’m becoming.”
Do Something That Fills You Up – Paint, dance, call a friend, journal, or play outside.

💬 Remember This:

You are already enough.
Your worth isn’t based on likes, filters, or someone else’s style.
You are real, unique, and amazing—just by being YOU.
