Description

Three sessions on why scrolling can leave someone feeling worse — taught as psychology rather than as a warning.

Humans compare themselves to others. That is normal, universal, and not a character flaw. The problem is that a feed presents everyone else's edited best against your student's own unedited everything, and that asymmetry is built into the format before anyone posts anything.

The most useful outcome: a student who understands the comparison is structurally rigged stops treating the feeling as evidence about themselves.
