It’s easy to feel like you need more. Maybe you feel like you need more friends. Or maybe you feel like you need more things to come your way. Sometimes you might feel like you just need someone to acknowledge who you are or how much you mean to them. Regardless of what you desire people are going to show up differently in your life.
I think something that social media really fuels is the need to be accepted or validated by other people. It’s almost as if it’s not enough to have a really interesting hobby or to be a relatable person. Now it seems as if you can only really be all that you are if you have at least one hundred likes, one thousand followers or twenty plus comments on Instagram. This isn’t to knock down anyone who has found success using social media (more power to you). The issue at hand is really that we are allowing “acceptance” from other people to define who we are or who we can become. I’ve been guilty of this even beyond social media.
