Have you ever looked at your friends’ Facebook posts and marveled at how their lives were
so much more exciting, successful, and blissful than yours? That’s when you have to remind yourself that things on the internet aren’t always what they seem. You don’t know how many of those statuses are a case of looking on the bright side, or possibly downright fabrications. You may even feel tempted to fudge a bit on your own posts. Call it "virtual enhancement," if you will.

ReplyDeleteI don't understand the compulsion to tell a bunch of strangers about your life. I have several online friends I've never met, or only met once or twice, in a dozen years who I consider true friends. I would tell them what going on or coming off but not the billions of people I don't know. I can't think of a reason they would give a crap what I'm doing. Guess I'm out of touch.
