One way to use social media to create an unhealthy comparison between ourselves and others is to focus on their successes, relationships, and lifestyle and compare them to our own shortcomings. We may feel envious or inadequate by engaging in this type of comparison.

user
You can use social media to create an unhealthy comparison with others by constantly engaging in activities like comparing the number of "likes" one picture has with another, or looking at the glamorous lifestyles of people showcased on social media. That type of behaviour not only makes it easy for us to fall into feelings of insecurity and jealousy but also reinforces harmful societal ideals about physical perfection and material success that are impossible for most of us to achieve.
