Zach should ask himself if its rational to be worried about the amount of likes and followers he gets and whether they define who he is. He should also think about how unrealistic his expectations are when growing his account and that it takes time to gain popularity. Comparing himself to other peoples post is unhealthy and that negative comments that he gets online should not make him feel lousy.
