Let me just give a few opinions. First, social media is bad for mental health in general. From a business view it’s a marketing tool - use it as such and don’t follow anyone - why waste time reading stuff there anyway? As a founder you must run a business. A business is meant for earning money, not for fulfilling a dream. All the shiny posts about how successful a startup is, is just marketing. Smoke and whistles. It should attract the reader into buying the product or service. Your failure and bad feelings are you not realizing you still have a consumers mindset not that of a business man. Also there are endless business ideas and as such an idea has zero value. Execution is what adds value. Ideas themselves are worthless. As soon as you understand that a business is just about money, and you accept that cold reality of capitalism, the sooner you will find ways to success. Luck plays a role, too. But you need to be in places around people where opportunities are plenty. Successful businesses are built around successful people and their networks! Not social media networks!
