IMHO, the hypothesis that 'social media makes you compare yourself to others more', while true, is overblown. I'd hazard that the overreliance on college undergrads as study subjects may have something to do with it.

True. My Facebook feed has a lot of contacts from my high school class and believe me they don't make me feel inadequate. (Nothing against them, their highlights are just regular life) So it's all in who you are comparing to.
