Social Media Shaming
Another young mother on Reddit opened up about her challenges, revealing that she regrets going through with this pregnancy when she wasn’t ready to become a parent. The thing that gets to us most about her story is the part about social media, and the false sense of perfection social media influencers create.
According to her, seeing all those young mothers on social media brag about the wholesome relationship and “motherly bond” they have with their kids makes her feel like a failure. We need to remember that not everything we see on social media is real; even if it is, we can’t compare ourselves to other people – that wouldn’t get us anywhere or make us better people.
