Are you comfortable being alone?

Sometimes, I feel tired because I'm surrounded by people with all kinds of traits. As I get older, I feel my feelings and thoughts are more sensitive. I often feel jealous of others, often also think whether other people like me? I don't want to constantly compare my life with other people and feel lonely even in their midst. So I decided to limit myself a little from social media. I deactivated my Instagram and Facebook accounts. I try not to be curious about their lives. I know I will feel lonely, but at least this keeps me safe from my negative thoughts.

I like being surrounded by people with all sorts of traits. The uniqueness of individuals is just interesting to me. I never feel jealous of others. If they have something I don't, I am more interested in knowing what I can do to get what they have that I want—like money for example. I do not care to compare myself with others. I am quite happy of who I am, and I appreciate my own personal uniqueness. I am not SUPPOSED to be like anyone else. I am only supposed to be like ME.
I don't mind being alone. But I don't want to avoid living either, otherwise what's the point to bothering to wake up?

I am also an introvert person. But I work in the government and need to interact with different people everyday. So I need to adjust with the situation. I have my social media account but I seldom post and only interact with people that I know and comfortable with. I also get jealous. Specially when I see new employees would come and would be promoted while I remain on the same position. But it didn't stopped me from doing my best. Even if I don't move on my current position, I make sure to improve my life. I learn to look for other opportunities which can give me satisfaction. I learned new skills. This way, I won't get despair because of something I could not get. I believe I am capable but the issue was not on me but on the system. If I can't get this, maybe I can get other things. so I don't need to lose hope over some things I couldn't achieve because I know I am successful in my own little ways.

Aww thank you so much! that's inspiring me a lot. Yes, we don't need to worry about it because everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Just try our best. Good luck!

Yes, I do, since I am introverted. I only use my social media accounts for work.

If I could get time alone, I would pay good money.

I should have deactive my social media for a long time, but that's okay. Now I feel fine without looking at other people's lives on social media
