The Tribal Social Comparison Effect

Every metric of mental health and happiness has seen a downward spiral since the mid-2000s. 36% of all Americans including 63% of adolescents even 51% of mothers with young children report feeling serious loneliness. Since only 2010-2011 adolescent suicide rates have increased 150% and self-harm by young girls has nearly tripled. All these new patterns point to one origin source. Social media. This tribal social comparison effect does not just affect adolescents. It affects all human beings including you including me. There is one very simple solution to ridding yourself of all that ails you. But I know it's not even worth mentioning because I know you'll agree with it but then not do it.
