Hi all, haven't been needing to come on here for quite a while now, but going through a rough couple of weeks.

Social media is making me anxious and constantly worry. For example, if I tag my friend in something on Facebook and they don't reply, but they then reply to someone else/are active on it, I automatically think I've done something wrong, and am comparing myself to the people they're replying to, thinking they're preferred and so on. Then I feel I need to check if they've been active on other social media sites.

It's worse when I'm in a conversation with them already and am waiting for them to reply on Whatsapp, and to see them active on Facebook, it's really distressing for me.

I know it's probably all innocent on the other peoples part, and I'm sure I've done it before without even thinking twice, but I just can't stop worrying about it.

Am I alone, has anyone else experienced this before? How do I deal with this?
