@bbrocket196 Funnily enough I was getting a lot of FOMO being on the lindekin app and seeing all the things career wise people had achieved that I hadn’t, I thought I was just unhappy with my own career progress, but I deleted the app and I don’t really feel that way anymore. I just sign on...

@gjohn Omg yes! I recently followed this black female power lifter and now I just go on her page when I wanna feel inspired. It’s great to see so many women lifting now but it can be a lonely space for a black girl like you said I honestly get so excited when I find black female pages of...

@mandamandrell91 Thank you! think taking a break might really be what I need, I’ve wanted to do it for a while but I have a few old friends that I’m only it touch with on Instagram so I don’t want to miss a message they send me. Maybe I’ll try logging in once a week or something That’s very...

@meg008 This is really helpful, thank you! Yeah, I find that when I do party and all I don’t even enjoy it. I’ll try the exercise of writing out my insecurities, hopefully that will help x

@artmai522 Right? It’s crazy how you don’t think about any of your ‘imperfections’ until you notice how you’re different from someone. I had no idea I’d gone down 2 cup sizes (I tried not to look at the scale too much, measurements, etc) until someone pointed it out to me. You’re totally...

@fish_bone I don’t think I could do that, it’s really only for females close to me But I checked and most of them have their Snapchat in their bios so I’m just going to add them on there, I’d never bothered to check before I already don’t look at people’s stories so I don’t think it should...

@kobbyclaude Thank you, I actually have 2 separate Instagram accounts, my regular one, and then one I that I use to post my gym progress for friends and family The second one never really makes me feel bad, I just feel more motivated to each my goals in the gym, thinking maybe I should log out...

@donny4793 Thank you so much, this is so kind, I nearly teared up reading this lol You’re so right, thinking of the positive comparisons is a huge help. I couldn’t even do a push up on my knees a year ago and now I can do 3 regular ones (which is still bad lol but I’m working on it) and...

@taxidriverlionel I lowkey agree with you about the money thing lol. One of the reasons I stopped doing all those things was to focus on school and my career goals more, and last summer I got an internship with a top 5 CPG company which was crazy. While I was working there I wasn’t feeling any...

@kimserico Thank you! It looks like they’re in the states but other people have suggested something like this, so I’m going to try and find something similar where I live x

@angel33babygirl This is so sweet, thank you 💕 One of the things I want to do in the future is get a PT certification and help teach kids how to live a healthier life (I was overweight as a child) and you’re right, I can’t do that if I’m not living that lifestyle

@dawn16 Thank you so much, this is great advice I agree that I need new friends who are more into fitness. Luckily my best friend is trying to get fit too, but she doesn’t take it as seriously as I do. I want to talk to my friends more about how I’m doing in the gym but their reactions make me...

@dawn16 Thank you so much 🧡 I’m starting to realize from your comment and others that it really is just a growing up thing, and maybe cause I’m doing it a little early I’m feeling left out. I agree I need to curate my IG more for my interest only. I think I’m also going to definitely take...

@nathan91 Thank you! I’ve decided I am going to try the break from social media and see how it works for me x

@ronaldsaved I see what you mean, it’s not necessarily they way all black girls are, it’s just the people that I happen to be surrounded by, at least on social media.

@seeker24 That’s so great! After all the advice I’ve gotten I think this may be the next step for me to take too. Even just thinking about getting rid of my Instagram with all those things feels relieving. 🧡

@armana Very true! I guess when I’m comparing myself to them I forget that part of why I’m doing all this is because I want to live a healthy and sustainable lifestyle now and in the future Thank you 🧡

@dawn16 You’ve summed up how I feel perfectly I think a lot of it does have to do with my age. There’s things I had FOMO about when I was younger but I’m perfectly fine not doing now I do have some friends that have started working out because of the progress I made which is really cool...

@sevenjay I agree, I think maybe I need to vary my social spaces a bit. I have friends that don’t party, etc, that I feel normal around, but it’s just when I see a lot of a certain type of my friends that I behind to feel bad From what people have said I’m going to take a break from Instagram...

@levs_28 Thank you! I’m actually already subscribed to this sub, I really like it. It’s just more when I’m on regular social media like Instagram and all. Reddit is great :)
