One aspect of social media is you get to sincerely get to see what people think about themselves when they post on their personal pages. One talented and complex woman I know has taken to try to build up her own self esteem by creating a competition against everyone with whom she's connected. She feels as if she's been put down and beat down by so many people around her. And, while she may need to work on her self esteem, this tactic is totally missing the point. No one needs to talk others down if they want feel good about themselves in the long term. And, when you truly feel good about yourself, others will respect you and won't talk you down.
