    Interesting article.
    It starts with the words
    Comparison is the thief of joy

    The only thing that makes me low on Facebook is looking at all the pretty things I can't afford to buy

    Seriously though, I've never had a problem comparing myself to others, even after putting on weight. I am me, and if anyone doesn't like it, just unfriend me
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Unfortunately I do get this. I have found some people I've had to block just because it's easier not to see, I never look at S Facebook page for example. It is disappointing if you post something to Facebook and it gets no response. Facebook is a double edged sword really it allows me to connect with and keep up with people and events but the comparison thing is an issue for me.
