Handling jealousy on social media can be very tricky and even the most cautious can fall as a result of one horrible comment made.

According to life coach, Marie Dubuque, "instead of expressing jealousy on social media, it's to find a new set of friends to hang out with, take photos with your new friends and post them on social media too".

In another case, you don't want to be too dependent on them which is why feeling jealous that you weren't invited by them shouldn't affect you too much. Learn to carve a niche for yourself as this will help you grow and be self-sufficient.
