<b>How do I stop comparing myself to bigger accounts?</b>

Q: "Every time I open the app I feel behind. How do I shake the comparison spiral?"

Short answer: Remember you're comparing your behind-the-scenes to their highlight reel, and most of them started exactly where you are now, just earlier.

That 100k account had 100 followers once and felt just as invisible. You're seeing year five of their work and judging your week three against it. That's not a fair fight, and it's not even the right opponent. Your only real benchmark is you, last month.

Their success is proof the path works, not proof you're failing.

Try this today: Unfollow or mute two accounts that make you feel small instead of inspired. Replace them with two peers at your stage.
