lifehacker or i09 had an article on how Facebook/social media allows people to present a picture perfect image, and what is going on in people's lives maybe the opposite of what they present. Look at all the pics that are put up. One takes the best pics out of how many taken? One takes X amount of selfies for that perfect shot? Everybody or every couple is smiling in photos, yet one or both parties are cheating on one another. And so on and so forth.
So true and what's funny is I have read studies and observed anecdotally that it is the people who are always posting perfect lives that are selling the most BS. It's sad to say but I can always tell when a relationship isn't all what it's cracked up to be because the people will constantly be posting pictures Trying to convince themselves and everyone else that their relationship is Awesome. I remember one of our friends who always were posting pics and whom everyone thought were the perfect couple posted pics of them happy and in love with these captions and the very next week she is announcing their break up and how bad things have been all along and Turns out he had been cheating forever. I have several examples where stuff like that happened.
Couples that always looked so happy on Facebook and oh he is the love of my life! 2-3 years later it's kaput.
It's a place for chronically insecure people to find fame and validation. It isn't real Life and people get caught up in comparing themselves on social media and many times they are comparing themselves with something that doesn't even exist
