In Pakistan, many families skip Eid shopping...
Just because they can’t afford it.
They won’t ask...
They won’t beg...
But your one extra outfit could mean everything.
Give just 1, for someone.

💛 Just One for Someone.

Luxury, travel and “PERFECT LIFE” posts are especially harmful, while authentic, real-life content tends to reduce these negative feelings. ~ Hiba R. Khan

Seeing other people’s fancy lifestyles, travel, and achievements on social media often harms mental health because it triggers "UPWARD SOCIAL COMPARISON" comparing your real life to someone else’s highlight reel. This leads to:

Lower self-esteem
Anxiety and depressive symptoms
FOMO (fear of missing out)
Feeling “behind in life” or inadequate
Loneliness and social anxiety
Materialistic pressure (feeling you must buy or achieve more)
