Deleting Instagram won’t heal your insecurities.
You must probe into your FOMO. Learn from it.
You must ask yourself:
Why do you envy others?
Why do you feel threatened by their success?
Why are you insecure?
What do you think would make you happier?
These are some of the most important questions you can ask yourself.
Deleting Instagram is escapism.
Renouncing success is escapism.
Escapism won’t lead you to the truth.
The truth alone can heal your insecurities, your doubts, your envy.
You see a happy person on the Instagram?
-Go ask them if they’re happy
-Go ask them what they like the most about their fabulous lives
-Go do the same things
-Go do what *you* want
PROBE into this problem. Probe deeply – and you shall receive the answers.
Probe deep enough to see if there is really anything to envy.
If you really want all those things – or just those appearances.
If you really care about those appearances.
If you’d really trade anyone else’s life for your own.
If the world is truly so unjust and unequal or if it’s really all the same – human condition.
Don’t delete your Instagram, or any of the nonsense anti-fomo anti-anti-social advice. Probe into this envy, into this desire, into this fomo. Sharpen yourself with it. Sharpen yourself to know yourself.
