This paper draws on the social comparison theory (Festinger, 1954) and the concept of online identity (Goffman, 1959). Social comparison theory suggests that individuals evaluate themselves by comparing themselves to others. Social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook provide a curated view of others' lives, fostering unrealistic comparisons and promoting feelings of inadequacy (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010). The concept of online identity suggests that individuals present a curated version of themselves online, which can lead to feelings of disconnection and isolation (Goffman, 1959). steffy moreno new
