I suffer from depression and extremely low self esteem.

The problem with social media is that the entire world becomes a source of envy and comparison.

Yes, even with traditional media, I would look up to the few selected celebrities and feel inferior to them.

But now, it gets worse when I see that even the boy next door is better looking than I am, which makes me feel less than average and unworthy of being alive.
