Excellence

Social media was making her feel lonely.

Cuddled up alone in her room, she scrolled down her timeline and started to compare herself to the fake flawlessness.

This is great, Paula. Saying she was "cuddled up" makes me imagine she is making herself small, or in need of comfort. "Scrolling" a "timeline" let me work out she's using social media without explicitly saying so. And "fake flawlessness" is alliteration, a language feature. You didn't ever say the word lonely, or sad, but I get the feeling that she is.

Excellent job 'showing' instead of 'telling' :)
