Have you witnessed the closest people to you posting on social media about having extraordinary lives with seemingly no problems? But when you talk to them, their lives are falling apart. I call this the social media trap. Recently I had a conversation with a friend who had fallen into this trap, and his life seemed to be in chaos when we spoke in person. Join me as I share what I think about this comparison trap we get stuck in and the advice I gave my friend while dealing with his situation.
