Think about it:

That filtered selfie might fuel insecurities in someone struggling with body image.
That group photo where someone is missing might make a child feel excluded or less valued by their peers.
That casual expression of support could deepen social divisions and sow polarization.
That casual mention of anxiety might trigger someone in a vulnerable mental state.
That extravagant purchase could exacerbate feelings of inadequacy in those struggling financially.
That picture-perfect parenting moment might make other parents feel like they're failing.

Yes, we are all resilient, and being exposed to a wide variety of experiences can foster self-growth, but it's not our place to push others' growth through posts that might trigger negative emotions, even if we think it's for their own good. Instead of fueling negativity or comparison, how can we use our platforms to uplift and inspire? Can we commit to sharing information responsibly, encouraging critical thinking, and being open to having our own perspectives challenged in the pursuit of truth?
