EP 165: Dealing with Social Comparison

About this episode

This episode discusses the impact of social comparison on mental health and offers strategies to refocus on personal growth.

Scrolling through social media can make it feel like everyone else is ahead — achieving more, doing better, or living a “perfect” life. Comparison has a sneaky way of showing up, impacting our mood, motivation, and mental health. Today, we’re talking about why social comparison happens, how it affects teens, and how to refocus on your own path without getting stuck in comparison traps.
