  • OP isn’t wrong, it’s the reason I came off social media years ago & I’ve been so happy since

    Browsing social media gave this false illusion that people were constantly out having the time of their lives, every single day.

    I just constantly felt like I had to try and do the same, that my life was boring and miserable. The reality is that I was doing and having more fun than most people based on conversation, social media was just painting a very false picture of people’s day to day lives.
