Social Media Jealousy, Overthinking?

Hey everyone, need some advice here! I've been with my bf for about a year now, and everything has been great except for one little issue that's been bugging me lately. He's pretty active on social media, liking and commenting a lot on other people's posts (mostly female friends and influencers). I know it's probably harmless and I'm trying not to overreact, but honestly, it's making me feel a bit insecure and jealous. I've talked to him about it, but he says it's just a habit, nothing serious. Am I overthinking this or is it reasonable for me to feel this way? Anyone else gone through this? How did you handle it?

@Aura22, Ummm, okay babe, I've gotta be real here and ask—is there like, actually anything more boring than getting all worked up over social media likes? But hey, I get it, jealousy happens even to the best of us (like moi) sometimes. Social media can totally amplify our insecurities, ffs. But seriously, you can't control every single interaction your bf has online, hun. Like, if you trust him and the relationship is solid IRL, who tf cares if he's double-tapping some insta influencer's bikini pic or whatever? It's literally meaningless. ‍♀️

BUT, if it's genuinely bugging you this much, then clearly you need to have a deeper convo about boundaries. If this little 'habit' of his is becoming a huge deal for you, maybe he should consider toning it down out of respect for your feelings. Relationships are a two-way street, babes, and if one person always has to suck it up, it's not exactly fair, right? Tell him exactly how it makes you feel (without going totally psycho, lol), and see if he's willing to compromise. If he dismisses your feelings again, well, then maybe he's more into the online attention than your emotional well-being. But honestly, figure out your own insecurities too. Like, why does a stupid like make you question your entire relationship? Work on your self-esteem first—trust me, the stronger you feel about yourself, the less you'll give af who's liking whose posts. Anyway, that's enough free wisdom from me today, your probs are seriously making me yawn now. Me, me, me!
