There are many depressed people in the world because they are comparing themselves with others doing better than them.

Happiness is a state of mind, you can be rich and still be sad if you keep comparing yourself with people richer than you. you tend to forget that you are doing better than some other people and your status is their prayer point.
The funny part is that sometimes you might even be doing better than those you envy, the fake life they are living is what they use to deceive you and others into believing they are doing better.
Sometime ago, a man posted a beautiful house on Twitter and asked people to celebrate his new house with him, you need to see comments of people tapping from his grace and some were even feeling sad that they are older than him yet can't boast of a small house talkless of the duplex the man built.
Unfortunately for the man, those who know the real owner of the house saw the post and tagged him in the comment section and yours truly asked the fake owner when he sold the house to him, that was a plot twist and all the tappers stopped tapping, it was the moment for those feeling sad to rejoice, you know how most people tend to get happy over such news, the fake owner was embarrassed that he had to delete the post...

It was later discovered he still lived with his parent and owned nothing apart from the rich clothes he spent the money he got from scamming others to buy... his only assets are the clothes and the iPhone he is using to post nonsense.
Many people have believed they are unlucky in life due to the guy's content but then when the truth came out, it was discovered they are even better than him, there are many cases like this but since their secret isn't yet revealed, you may not know.
Irrespective of Age and time, never compare yourself with others, we all have our time to shine, someone you know may be doing better than you now but it does not mean you can't overtake when it is your time, do not spend your life depressed over successful people lifestyle and achievement, instead spend it thinking, planning and strategizing on how to get your bags filled and be the prayer point of others .
Another mistake that others make is leaving their path to follow someone's else path because the person is doing great, we all have our talent and we should stick to what we know how to do best, it will make us great someday rather than trying to do what you can't do but you insist on doing it because you see those doing it becoming successful. It is their way, stick to yours!

I understand with you say I have too this bad habit to compare myself with other life's especially in social media that everyone one seems happier and have a super cool life , that why my psychiatrist told me to avoid social media as much as I can 🤣
lol, you are not the only one going through that and yea stay away from social media if you can't handle the presssure.
pretense and social media are the reason mma y they someone is doing better than them if they can show their real self , many people will not want to be the person they look up to
absolutely!
Papaya ex has also done something like that. She posted someone’s house and then we all realized it was a lie. No matter how big a celebrity is, even if it is my age mate, I don’t like to tap from their grace. The prayer I say is that God should make me shine
lol, no more tap tap
That's right. Such people will always be in depression. We should always be grateful to God for the things we have and if we have to compare people in this way, look at those who are better than us. Those who are not living life are also patient, so we should be grateful in every situation.
yea
Ah. Kasala burst. I just wonder if someone fell into depression seeing that "fake post."
That's what social media is about. Although there are many true stories out there, people only show the great side of their lives, whether it's true or not. Better to face front and work hard and smart at your own pace.
not just one, many people did, it is what happens daily.. people getting depressed over others' achievements...
and like you said, ppl only show the good ones, if they reveal their problems, those who envy them would never want their lifestyle
It is better to compare your previous performance with your current performance rather than comparing yourself with others. However, as you do this, don't get depressed if you find your past self better than the current one. This I think is a better way to motivate myself.

this is it, the only comparison we should do is on our past and present, we should always endeavour to make sure our present is better than the past.

Comparison is not good because it brings negative consequences at the end. And in case of social media we should not believe what we see because most of the things in social media are fake.
that is correct.
😂😂 This part got me rolling.
However, this is very true and I call it fake life. People come on social media bragging of things that they do not own instead of working hard to actually get this things. The worst part is when others now start asking for 'soap' or like you said, 'they start tapping'. If only they knew they are tapping into nothingness.
lol such is life... so many people hate their own existence and background because of this fake people.
