Meghan King Feels 'Inadequate' Because Of Social Media: Here's Why

Meghan King got candid about how social media makes her feel "inadequate."

The 38-year-old "Real Housewives of Orange County" star took to Instagram on Tuesday and uploaded a selfie of herself, sitting in her car. She told her followers she has been "in a funk lately" and explained how social media can have an "insidious" effect on her.

"It's a weird funk, I'm not depressed or worried or anything, I'm in a healthy romantic relationship, I'm loving being a mom more than ever, and things with work seem to be falling into place," she began her long caption. "My funk has to do with my shifting role in the game of life, I'm so public all the time but lately I've been wondering if this is the route I want for my children?"

She added, "Social media can be so insidious and I find myself feeling inadequate when I look at it too long."

In the caption, the mother of three shared one particular incident when she felt bad because of social media.

"My mom recently asked, 'Megh, would you like a keepsake box for your kids for Christmas?' To which I responded something to the effect of 'Damnit I don't have keepsakes like good Moms bc I'm so distracted trying to run everything alone!' (Sorry mom) but woah, seriously, when did I become so salty and self-righteous when it comes to keeping up with the Joneses?"

"I feel defensive even when it's unnecessary and I knew I need to look within. That's it. I don't have answers yet, the funk continues," she said.

King has previously voiced her distaste for using social media, especially after her failed romantic relationships.

"I'm done putting relationships on social media. I don't want to be defined by them," King said at the "Tamron Hall Show" in September. "You Google my name and you see all these relationships, I'm done with that. I think, most of the time when I date, my life intimidates people."

After five years of marriage, King split with former baseball player Jim Edmonds. Their divorce was finalized in May 2021. Then, she married President Joe Biden's nephew, Cuffe Biden Owens in October 2021. Their wedding ceremony was attended by the president and the first lady. However, their marriage did not last and was annulled in July.
