I used to think I should stay off Facebook, because I knew of such studies and felt the effects myself.<p>But I now view Facebook as an exercise in internal self-worth: Can I browse through everyone&#x27;s posts of their &#x27;best life&#x27; and be genuinely happy for them? Can I take in their stories without comparing my life to theirs?<p>I know that I would likely feel better if I didn&#x27;t put myself through that exercise, but I think it&#x27;d be valuable for me if I can actually get to the point where I can browse Facebook and remain as happy, if not more. I&#x27;m not there yet, so time will tell.
