The Ugly Truth Of Social Media Shame

These are some thoughts going on inside my head: -I wish I had abs like that -I really hate my thighs, maybe those exercises will help me get rid of them -I need work harder -My body will never look like that -No matter how hard I try I never get those kinds of results -Why is it so much easier for everybody else?

Pretty soon I started feeling inferior, self-conscious, and felt like 'why bother because I can't keep up with these girls.' I was experiencing social media shame Social media shame is real.
