Lesson Overview

11.16 – When You Compare Your Real Life to Someone’s Highlight Reel: Social media thrives on selective storytelling. People post their vacations, wins, and perfect lighting but rarely their struggles or tears. Comparing your behind-the-scenes life to someone else’s highlight reel leads to unfair expectations and hidden sadness. Every time you scroll, remind yourself you’re seeing a polished slice, not the full picture. Shift focus from envy to inspiration—let others’ successes show what’s possible, not what you lack. Practicing gratitude for small joys grounds you in reality. Unplugging occasionally resets perspective and reminds you of your own progress. Real life includes mess, noise, and imperfection—and that’s what makes it human. When you stop competing with illusions, peace returns and self-respect grows stronger.
