Social media validation
Hi, i am 20 years old, I am a female. I have always been on the internet my whole life. I am instagram addict. I have good anlint kf followers and i am always trying so hard to win people’s approval online. I think its getting worse with each day. I am also diagnosed with OCD. I need help. People around me dismiss by saying its not a real issue. But i am tired of living like this. I dont want to live a miserable life bec of a stupid app with stupid follwers i dont even know.
Sorry it had lot of typos.
i have a good amount of followers*
It's real issue and frustrating one... Try to stay off from phone...take step to do daily 5 min and with time pass increase time by adding 5 min more..soon u will realise your life isn't depend on some online App and can feel so relax and freedom in life. Do something that u like to do in life like drawing, cooking, watching movie , diy anything that seem cool and interesting to get your attention and consume your time unknowingly. And possibly put your phone internet on off condition most of the time.

I get the picture 🙂 that's quite a common issue in the digital era, isn't it?
Getting others approval is fine, but looking for others' approval is a recipe for self-esteem issues.
You already have a good amount of followers, have you found a purpose for your existence on social media?
Something that you approve internally, that makes external approval is just a bonus.
Hope you find a solution and use the advantage for your best benefit in terms of self-growth & mental health 💜
I was online 10 years before you were born. When www didn't exist , when people had discussions about science and yes black helicopters. The internet is what you make of it my dear, run with the pack or be an individual in the sites you choose to use. Self validate by not being one of those girls..
