social media is toxic as fuck

HEAR HEAR!!! I’m glad I’m not alone. It’s so FAKE. People are picking and choosing exactly what to share with their “friends”... you are only seeing a sliver of their life, and of course most people choose to only share words and photos that make themselves look as happy and perfect as possible. I can’t stand it when people judge anyone by their social media profiles... “oh so & so broke up! They seemed so happy and in love!” Based on what??? You never saw them together in person! Bahhhh! It’s always couples who live together and are married/committed that would write messages on their FB/Instagram pages to each about about how much they love each other... for everyone to read!!! Why?? They live together! Don’t they talk in person? What are they trying to prove? But most idiots don’t see that behavior as a red flag and think these couples are truly happy together based on insecure BS like that on their social media accounts. It boggles my mind.

The happiest most in love couple I know have been married 4 years together 9 years- they’re never even listed they’re in a relationship on FB. They’re private about their relationship. I love it.
