While prohibiting, delaying, or fasting from social media are suggested by popular writers as answers to these problems, prohibiting social media is known to be ineffective at preventing these cognitive social media problems once a person begins using social media. Moving forward, counselors should prepare themselves to use the therapeutic tools they currently have or develop new tools for treating clients whose problems are related to social media. We sought to determine if social media self-control failure, fear of missing out, and social media social comparison were associated with deficiencies in self-compassion. Our pilot study (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 61) confirmed that the problematic social media outcomes share considerable variance with deficiencies in self-compassion with moderation models found. Thus, self-compassion interventions may be useful for treating social media self-control failure, fear of missing out, and social media social comparison, but future research will need to explore the efficacy of these interventions.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00332941251409154","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,20]],"date-time":"2025-12-20T06:42:21Z","timestamp":1766212941000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Pilot Study of Self-Compassion and Social Media Problems: Associations, Moderations, and Speculations"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7858-2686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mollie D.
