[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you find that you’re feeling this way because you’re seeing it on social media? We have a fairly robust social life, but I still find that if I see a group hanging out on instagram, even if it’s people I’m not particularly close to, my first instinct is often to feel left out or wonder why I wasn’t also doing something amazing while they were. This happens even when I’m tired and so happy to be on my couch and truly wouldn’t have even wanted to go out!

All that to say that maybe you should take a social media break and continue doing what you’re doing socially, invite people to hang out more often, and try not to let comparison be the thief of joy? I can really relate, and I know that social media is largely the problem for me, and I’d be probably be much happier if instagram was never invented![/quote]

OP here. Probably a little bit. I started feeling a little down on our overall social situation a few months ago, but kind of justified it/stuck my head in the sand and just thought "well maybe other people just aren't hanging out either, and it's that season of life," but seeing stuff on social media exasperated it. Probably a good idea to limit the social media use, though![/quote]
