The people older than 55 compare themselves to others with only 38%. If we compare millennials with people older than 55 it is a big contrast, almost double. In total, 65% of millennials compare themselves to work colleagues which is also a high percent. The people over 55s are not influenced by any posts on social media, but millennials are with the percent of 14.3, especially by the fitness posts on social platforms. 

More than half of people who participated in the survey, 54% said they looked upon their friends, 50% looked upon their family, 37% on their colleagues, 36% on their partner, and only 22% on celebs and influencers. 

This is a very important subject in the social life of people because when people passed the age of 31, they expected to have accomplished some important things in their life.
