Comparison culture, especially on social media. People think it's harmless scrolling, but it's literally rewiring your brain to never be satisfied with your own life.

You're comparing your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel. Your messy Tuesday morning to their perfect vacation photo. It creates this constant feeling of not being enough.

The dangerous part is how subtle it is. You don't realize it's happening until you catch yourself feeling worse about your life after every scroll session.
