I do not have many friends on social media

I’m in Class X. I have a problem. I do not have many friends on social media, but my friends do. I am very selective about adding friends because I do not want to land in problems. But still I get a complex when I see the number of likes and comments some of my friends attract when they post something. How can I handle this?

It is very essential to be very clear on the kind of friends you want to have on social media. It is not okay to get carried away by what your friends are doing. You must be clear about your boundaries. It is very natural to feel upset or confused when your friends seem to be getting a lot of attention on social media. Remember, this is a passing phase. Be clear about why you have set certain rules. It is not healthy to compare yourself with others. You have mentioned that you do not want to land in problems and it is your decision to restrict yourself. Do not feel bad about it and lose focus. For many, social media is addictive and it is very important for you to not get there. It is not good to practise unhealthy habits simply because others are doing it.
