Self Acceptance is necessary for individual human survival

 Before social media people had more time to be bored with themselves and their lives. Now, people are constantly listening to the words of others.

What others have to say about themselves or others is NOT IMPORTANT really.

What is important for long term survival is self acceptance.

Without Self Acceptance or accepting yourself the way you are and loving yourself and having integrity with yourself in all your actions mental or physical decline of one's health both mental and physical is to be expected.

When you are looking outside of yourself for acceptance this is always a road to potential suicide and self destruction.

So, social media in general for teens and pre-teens is a way in which people will tend to be moved more and more towards self destructive or suicidal behavior.

Because each one of us is completely unique and we need to get to know ourselves and not what other people are thinking about so much. That just can lead to neurosis and suicidal or self destructive behavior.

I'm not sure even I could survive growing up now to adulthood in these circumstances that young people find themselves in today.

I would throw away your instagram and just be with yourself and nature. This is the way to understand yourselves and to survive all of this just like people have found ways to survive for thousands of years already.
