“ The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.

SENSE OF WORTH

Studies have found that browsing social media raises our self esteem far higher than looking in the mirror.

And this isn’t just true of “selfies.”

But that raised self esteem can have detrimental effects.
