📱 Doomscrolling, Comparison & Addiction
Doomscrolling = endlessly scrolling bad news, drama, or negativity.
Comparison scrolling = “Everyone’s life looks better than mine.”
Online addiction = you feel uncomfortable if you’re not checking something.
- Your brain constantly scans for danger. Negative feeds keep it in “threat mode”.
- Comparison tricks you into believing you are “behind” in life.
- Notification loops drip-feed dopamine, making you crave the next hit.
Result: tired eyes, racing mind, poor sleep, low mood, and feeling “never enough”.

- They typed this in seconds. You are living inside your body for life.
- It usually says more about their boredom, jealousy or insecurity.
- You can delete, block, mute and walk away. That is power.
- They cared enough to comment – contradiction already.
- Your value is never measured in likes, comments or follows.
- This is online litter. You’re allowed to bin it.

🛡️ Body Image Protection Tools
Use these tools whenever social media makes you feel less than.
Remember: you’re seeing one second of someone’s day, captured from the best angle, in the best light, after 20 failed takes.
If skin looks plastic-smooth, eyes are too bright or the background warps around curves, it’s edited. You’re comparing yourself to a cartoon.
Look at real people in your life – in shops, at school, at work. That is what humans really look like.
