Instagram isn't good for me, but I need it for my business

Tips and Tricks

I’m an artist and a photographer and filmmaker I’m trying to build a community, and of course social media play a central role. but I have a love/hate relation to instagram, for two reasons :

first, stuff like doomscrolling, useless videos and things that just absorb my energy that i end up watching

and second, I just can’t stop comparing to other women, more beautiful for example, I changed my algorithm but still, I see accounts of beautiful and talented women and instead of finding it inspirational, it makes me sad because I feel like I cant achieve this level of talent or beauty. I know this point is deeper than just instagram, I think instagram just makes it worse or makes me confront to this problem.

I want to keep my account because today I feel like if you wanna succeed in something that isn’t the classical job, or if you’re a creative, it’s a good tool for expression. But it also makes me sad so Idk how to handle it.
