Why Does Social Media Make Us Feel Bad?


Have you ever caught yourself doom-scrolling, feeling more inadequate with every post you see?


This video addresses how the excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of low self-esteem and feeling inadequate. Learn practical tips on how to **stop scrolling** and implement a social media detox to improve your mental health. Break free from these negative cycles and reclaim your well-being.


In this important episode of the Quietly Confident Introvert Podcast, I unpack:

✨ Why social media activates the critical parent and adapted child states (from Transactional Analysis)

✨ How seemingly “motivational” content can amplify self-doubt

✨ Subtle ways marketing manipulates your fears and how to spot them

✨ Why taking control of your feed is essential to protect your quiet confidence

✨ Key reflective questions to help you scroll intentionally and shine your light instead of shrinking back


📢 I also share my own journey of recognising when social media was dimming my confidence and what I did to reclaim my focus.

Because your voice, your leadership, and your well-being matter, and the world needs you to show up as your empowered self.


❓Do you agree that social media is a major cause of loss of confidence?

❓ How are you bringing attention to what you feed your inner consciousness from social media?
