Celebrate your uniqueness! (Read the pinned comment)
Sorry for joking again!
Have you ever felt so competitive toward others? If you have, then it's perfectly alright. Feeling competitive is part of human nature. It doesn't imply that you are a bad person. The important thing is how you overcome this competitive attitude and become more helpful. I've noticed on Tumblr that someone always judges their art by the number of likes they get (it's a tangled blog, so it pops up on my feed from time to time). If they don't get enough likes, they feel depressed and blame the entire world. When they do get enough likes, they finally feel it is a hit! But in the field of creative work, you can't assess art like this. It's not about how many likes you get but whether you are satisfied and feel a sense of joy from creation.
I think social media is causing harm by giving us a false sense of accomplishment and taking the real enjoyment from it. Leonardo da Vinci took sixteen years (I'm not sure, correct me if I'm mistaken) to paint the Mona Lisa. And what are we doing now? Drawing a picture, posting it on social media, expecting likes, and if we don't get them, we give up. It's also alarming how our attention spans are getting smaller and smaller. Now, circling back to competitiveness, the solution is to remember that we are all different. We all have something unique that others can't possess, and we should celebrate our uniqueness rather than compete with others. We must focus on our own work rather than on others' reactions. Remember that life is not a competition but a journey, and everyone is walking their own path.
If you still feel competitive, my advice is to compete with yourself. Try to be a better version of yourself each and every day. You are your best friend, and you are your biggest enemy. Help yourself, love yourself, and conquer yourself.
To reduce social media-induced stress, I've started journaling. It's not like everyone has to know what is going on in my life; I just need to put my thoughts somewhere. Slowly, I'm replacing social media with a real diary, real hard copy books, real chores, and real people. (It's not like everyone on social media is fake; I've met some genuine, real, kind people here. And I'm grateful to have the right people in my life!) Anyway, enough with the ramblings, now enjoy the video!
