People get what they want to read,
but not what they need to know.
I’ve realized that my behavior today is the same, but from the outside it
never looks like it. Unconsciously, most times I arrive to the party, I take
a picture or a selfie, publish to social media, and then I probably go and
do the same thing I always do at parties: being in some corner, talk to
few people and go home early.
However, people online will perceive that I might have had a great party,
crazy fun and that life is awesome.
That might not be necessarily true, but if I look at my news feed in
different social networks it is an unconscious action that millions are
taking.
A recent study by the University of Michigan showcased that on the
surface social networks provide an invaluable resource for fulfilling
needs as allowing people to instantly connect.
However, while for some it can enhance their wellbeing, many other
findings suggest that social networks may undermine it. In fact, not only
can social networks cause depression, it also can cause what’s known
as the “fear of missing out.”

In a nutshell, the narrative of social
media is better than the real narrative
people live.

So, what should I do about this?
Being aware is a first step.
Know that there is an unconscious need to share our lifestyle online
and understand that it just does not mean that everyone you know is
having a fantastic life.
Follow your own path, find your passion and energy triggers and
connect with people online, offline, but don’t stay on the surface.
And finally, invest in going beyond the ‘like’.
