Are You Living an Insta Lie? Social Media Vs. Reality
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лют 2017
- If you're guilty of living an Insta Lie or know somebody that is, then this video is most certainly for you. We're partnering up with boohoo.com to call out some of the funniest and most common Insta Lie's posted on social media.
Insta Lie (verb): an intentionally false representation of real-life on social media. Examples include:
1.) Tagging an edited and made-up selfie with #IWokeUpLikeThis;
2.) Taking a million selfies before deciding on just one to post as #Effortless 😕;
3.) Going all the way to Starbucks, buying a coffee and opening up your Macbook - taking a photo of your #WorkSpace, closing your Macbook and then going back home;
4.) Using filters to edit your travel photos - making them literally look #Unreal.

True! I deleted my Instagram about a year ago! Life been good, I stop comparing myself constantly
I only have UA-cam and Facebook account
When I post on Facebook, I saved it as only me.
just for saving purposes.

Got rid of Instagram and Facebook over 5 years ago. One of the best decisions of my life.

How did you do that

Thank god I grew up riding bicycles with my friends, playing outdoor games at night, and not getting a phone until my junior year. Parents need to emphasize this balance more. It’s crucial. So unhealthy to grow up in the age of social media
Even more scary when we know how deep our current presidents administration went on social media to skew things to their false reality as well. The best thing humans can do is avoid social media and all news outlets like the plague.
I didn't have my own smartphone until I was 18
I got a prepaid phone for myself when I went to college back in the early 2000s.
Will make sure of that…
So true
That's actually pretty depressing

I can't believe that! 😂😂
I have always felt so backdated, too ordinary since I started my insta account. People are having such colorful, happy,life. And there I am sitting in my room with books, study and absolutely nothing. I really tried to be like them, like trying reels, make-up and all. But that's not me, and i can't pretend anything. So i just deactivated all my social media account. You know what? I'm genuinely happy and satisfied with no showing off. I'm living my life instead of making fake things.
Love this!! I feel the same
"I am not like other girls"
That's basically your comment.

Honestly. If it makes u feel any better. I do this too. Sure, i go on youtube. But as a senior in high school, I feel like all i do is study, do i feel lonely and depressed kinda. But, at least i am not the only one who does this in my school and many of the most intelligent people i know, RARELY use social media.

It’s proven that social media increases depression and loneliness. Just live your life and stop worrying about others to compare yourself, you will never be happy this way.
Jokes on you I was already terribly depressed and lonely BEFORE social media
Yes we will
Lol ik, I dont even have a insta or Twitter account or even snapchat just Facebook but I barely use it there's barely photo of me only google pictures

The reason why I don’t like Snapchat because when you take off the filter you’ll get disappointed at you face
My husband and I went out for breakfast and we noticed that everyone around us were on their phones. Father with his young son, mom & dad and teen son, young couple with their toddler who was on a tablet. I felt so sad for the kids. What a perfect opportunity for families to talk and connect. We didn't give our son a cell phone until he entered high school. We don't allow phones at meal times or when we're out at restaurants. It's just gotten so out of hand. It's no longer for convenience, it's an obsession, an addiction.
How did you get your son to not be bitter about not giving him cell phones until high school and all the rules? If i ever have a kid I want to do the same thing, but Ive seen my relatives' kids be unbelievable spiteful against their parents because of this.
Not letting your kid use the phone at the table is an error. You don't need to put rules, you need to make him appreciate the time spent connecting.
I never had any rules about phones, and still every time I sit at the table with my family or friends I am the only one wanting to talk face to face, socialice and stop using the phones.
What you are doing to your son is useless.
@@mochi8632, THAT is your problem. "Never had rules." When dinner is served in my house cellphones are not allowed at the table. Do so and YOU and your PHONE may be going out the door. You will get only one warning.
@@donotneed2250 Why tho? Also, you don't have any power over me so you can't tell me what to do.
But if you do this to a kid without even an explanation then you are abusing them. You are making them fear you, they will not value any time spent with you because you are creating an abusive relationship.
This will only make them more rebellious and hope to not see you ever.
@@mochi8632, is not child abuse. House rule and the same thing goes for adults.🤷🏼♂️ If you find that you have issues with my house rules then don't visit. Simple. If I take it from you I will toss it out on the grass the first time. Next time it hits the walkway.
I've stopped using social media back in 2012 at age 23, I never share my life, kids, husband or my house anywhere. I still don't have social media accounts. Quiting social media is easier than quiting smoking.
Me too
I agree. As they say, what people don’t know, they can’t destroy. Just how many ‘perfect’ couples and lives on screen are suffering greatly behind the scenes. They portray unrealistic standards just to please their viewers. 😞

My ex recently dumped me, I understand I messed up by being insecure but GOSH DANG boy even two weeks after she dumped me she posted herself out with new people and she seems so “happy.” I have personally been staying silent on my socials becsuse I feel no need to fake anything, but she is posting waaaay to much with people she literally just met; they seem so happy and it honestly hurts me, because it made me believe I was just replaceable. This video has certainly helped me come back to reality.
She's faking it. It would be different if she rewired and actually spoke to those people again, made friends, or posted something new. And in moderation. I too don't feel that urge anymore. Locked myself from facebook around September end, and it only did good.
everyone in social media is chutiya.. I've cut off myself from insta, fb, UA-cam since 4-5 years

@@archanakumaridasgupta5536 she may not be faking it. If she dumped him there’s the possibility she was eager to be single and is happy now. If he was The Who dumped her and now she’s doing the most with her posts then it would be likely she’s faking.
It’s true that most things on social media is exaggerated, some things are outright fake, but every on social media is not fake. I think some people like to believe so as a cope mechanism.
My teacher once said: the only reason you feel unhappy is because you comparing your life with other's

Well...not the only reason, for áll misery ofcourse, but when it comes to instagram, then yes.
Definitely a reason many people are unhappy, but not the only reason.

Its an addiction.
I once dated a girl who was always on Instagram. It wasn't this bad but she was literally always scrolling thru Instagram. I had to explain to her that it's rude to be on her phone when we're eating together or when I'm trying to have a conversation with her but she still didn't get it. Unfortunately that wasn't nearly the worst of her problems but now I know that being on social media all the time is a red flag
lol
6 years later, it’s 2023, and not a thing has changed.
It’s now monetized
This video made me sad. I like social media, but when we're with friends or family, we should put our phones down and talk to each other.
absolutely agree
yeah agree
Wendyss Ka ohhh me too :(
doesnt make me sad for social media, but yes agree with your ending note.
Wendyss Ka nowadays when I go to the foodcourts, ppl are busy w their gadgets rather than w their companion.
This makes sense two years ago. But now people are like “yo Wuddup just woke up from my depression nap” with a frazzled and incoherent selfie
Peachy Nah those are probably not one of the most popular ones on social media. It’s still like this
An0nym0us Pers0n I think it has lowered down a bit in terms of the “fake” lifestyle because I don’t think many people care as much as they used to.
An0nym0us Pers0n what I’m saying is that the very few who still do this are lifestyle gurus and Instagram “models” but other than that I’ve been noticing more honesty about not being perfect and more talks about mental health, sometimes in the form of a self deprecating joke but I like it, it’s much more relatable and honest.
Lol
yeah but still there’s a significant different between your mindset when on social media vs not on it. i got of socials like a few months ago and i feel so much better. it sounds stupid but social media is truly a waste of time
Today is my birthday. I don't post photos on any social network this is my life a starting point that's a big message for me and thank you very much. Enjoy yourself not showing other’s people.
This made me grateful that I grew up in the 80’s.

Yapppp i agree
Do people actually do this? I only use social media to look at memes
Rising Spirit sadly they do. thats why i deleted facebook and instagram. kept snapchat though
me too.!😂😂 most of my newsfeed is all about memes!😆
Rising Spirit yes. I HAVE A 16YR OLD STEP DAUGHTER WHO DOES THIS EVERY SPARE SECOND SHE HAS!
For real. 99 out of 100 posts on my home page on fb are memes.
I thought the same thing － this seems unbelievable to me!
We've made stalking anyone else's life and comparing so easy and normalised that we don't even realise it's a huge problem!
yass relatableee
Here are some ways social media can improve-
1) Remove like/dislike system
2) Relabel "Followers" To "Connections"
thats kinda cool
that means no fun for many companies 😐
@@alisa7012they need to create an own space
@thx473 whilst I get the point you're trying to make, I unfortunately don't think using the word 'connections' will make any difference or make people become 'aware'. Facebook already uses the term 'friends', and we all know how most people don't even speak to the 'friends' that are connected to their account. For this reason, I think the word 'followers' captures the reality of what people are doing, when they connect to a person's social media account, quite accurately.
This is wise
This video was the reason why I deleted my Snapchat, instagram, Twitter, and tik tok accounts. I’m only 18, but I’ve never felt happier. Highly recommend this to anyone, no matter your age. I’m never going back
I deleted FB, Twitter, and Snapchat as well. Not Instagram yet but I don’t post anything and I barely have followers. I am also 19 yrs old.
I deleted Twitter, facebook, Instagram. Never used TikTok.
Only kept WhatsApp which I later muted 95% of the statuses .
My life has never been happier😁
I like pasta
I’m so glad I decided to delete it for the time being.
I deleted Facebook, snapchat like 4 years ago, never used instagram (literally I dont know how it looks like). The only thing I use in Internet is UA-cam and Google. Im 24 now.
27 year old and I quit Facebook ten years ago. Never even attempted to use Instagram. All I have is UA-cam. Best thing I've ever done

Cyberbullying is a very serious problem that affects many people, especially young people using social networks.
An issue made about 7 yrs ago but still pretty much holds water to this day.
Definitely. And since it’s now monetized, you’re paid to show the best or be quirky or create a brand, an image. Can’t imagine growing up as a teen now where what’s real? The norm is false representation. Shopping at a store but don’t mind the content creator recording his current episode to millions and I’ll be an extra in the background cause I went out of my house. lol Nah, it’s worse.
Never had insta or Facebook, guess I’m not losing anything
It's a win for you

UA-cam isnt social media, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing, it's a predator ready to pounce, it's a lowlife thief that steals your sanity, grammer, and intelligence away from you.....
*And I'm one of the people addicted to it.*
The problem has never been Instagram or Facebook, but the human being who likes to compare with others and want to live the lives of others.
Social media just allows them to let that side of them show.
social media was engineered to exploit that aspect of human behavior. look up videos of how instagram, facebook, twitter, etc were made
True. People need to stop being so insecure nowadays to the point that they have to share fake photos and videos on social media. It's just weird how people think their self-worth and self-esteem is gained through posting those fake photos and videos.

Everything is fake nowadays it's hard to love or to trust somebody wether to love or to not risking yourself to get hurt in the process.
wtf they are wasting life likethat.I would rather post a video of me eating spicy noodle.its tasty i love food.
Wenny Dornan yeh fake fake fake✌
Yup her boyfriend is gay. Using her as cover to hide his homosexuality.
Heard this somewhere,
"Out of 24 hours, people hardly get 24 minutes of true happiness. During this time, the person clicks 24 pictures. Finally, he shares one single best picture magnified with filters, which ruins the mental well-being of next 24 people."
I deleted my facebook and instagram account as soon as I finished university (almost 2 years ago). I don’t regret it at all. I was always telling my friends that people only post only the best of their lives, and often it's not even real. That could make an average person think "Why is everyone life so much more interesting and better, and how is everyone way happier than me?" But that's a trap, because we are sad and unsocial generation. Also, start tracking your time on phone and "social" apps. You'll be suprised how much time you waste.
I deleted all my social media I had the constant desire to be perfect and just be ok it. It was crazy how much time I wasted :/
chicken nugget goddess but you're still on youtube honey
chicken nugget goddess good girl
antipeesea on UA-cam you actually entertain yourself, watch videos, like TV. You don't try to be perfect or pretend here.
I did the same

Yeah Social Media sucks!
Frighteningly accurate.
Be honest. Be real. If something you think of posting isn't genuine, then don't post it.
Lauren Vanessa Vegan Good point but what's your definition of genuine
honestly, when i spend time with my friends everyone is barely on their phone, and at least the people i know irl don't fake their life like that on social media, so maybe the people you know are like that or, maybe, just maybe me and my friends are a bunch of freaks
lamar wahb my definition of genuine is exactly what it's defined as. "What something is said to be." like, think of the girl in this video who posted the pic of her kissing her boyfriend. she posted it when she was angry at him and seeming to have second thoughts about loving him. she should have waited to post it until she felt sure (in my opinion). im all about being real. like, i post a lot of food pics on my instagram, and if a recipe turns out worse than i thought, i will either not post the pic or i will post it with my honest thoughts about how it could have been better. i actually did that with a post about vegan sushi. i shared my failed attempt then a few days later i shared my successful attempt. So being genuine it being honest by giving your real opinion and thoughts, or by not posting at all.
Zairo Delgadillo it sounds like you and your friends are doing things right. paying attention to each other and creating quality memories. :)
"Social media is where you try to impress or please people who don't even give a f*** about you in real life, while ignoring the ones who actually are"
1:48 I love how you show them putting away their phones for the photo, then are straight back into it - seen it SOOOO many times
What people fail to understand is being a slave to social media. Get out of the house and enjoy life. The more likes you get the more addicted you'll to false recognition. The only person who needs to understand your worth is YOU.
abrarjunejo yup
Many of them are out of the house when they use social media, lol
abrajunejo The irony is that I know my daughter "likes" the posts of people she feels sorry for - so the amount of likes definitely does NOT reflect on how popular you ....it is false recognition.
abrarjunejo amen
abrarjunejo I need help. My sister is supposed to be studying because she going to university, and all her focus is on is social media. Also putting makeup up, checking out her stories on ig/Snapchat and it's annoying! She is never gonna go to university and I keep telling her too, she never listens.
I stopped posting on Instagram before I saw this video, I felt like people don't like your pictures because they really do like them but because they want you to hit the like button when they post a picture. They see your picture hate, judge and criticize you then they hit the like button. It's so misleading and fake.
Baraa Jawabreh very true
Straight facts
Baraa Jawabreh so why haven’t you done the same thing with UA-cam bruh?
You hit the nail on the head 👍
Yes and some people will follow you then will unfollow you days later! What the..
Everything is fine in moderation. And when you really want to share something that could may be feel unique.. genuine pics of travel, having met someone great with actually a good story behind, a moment of art, ... As long it doesn't rule your life, it's fine.
This video was uploaded 7 years ago and the conditions are still same........... how perdurable .

I was at my in-laws for Thanksgiving and my Sister-in-Law would not let anyone eat until she got THE perfect picture of the dinner table all set up. Kids are screaming, everyone is hangry, and she is just snapping away... it was pure chaos. She ruined Thanksgiving dinner... But her post made it seem like everything was wonderful and peaceful. Completely disconnected from reality...
Sad this is common everywhere. I was at this tourist spot few days ago and it was a beautiful sun View that day and people are busy taking selfies and i was enjoying the view laughing at them in my mind.
Wow… I totally know what you mean. That’s why I decided not to force pictures on Christmas. Just spend time with family cooking and bring together
This is exactly what happens when I and my friends hang out
:(
Can you really blame her for making memories but yeah it's affecting others, I usually take pictures or videos but I don't really post them
Just keeping them in the hard drive who knows if you get old at some point and see the nostalgia
I deleted TikTok a while back and I can say that my attention span is a lot more healthier. I always try to hang out with my family and have conversations with them, or go to the park because I'd rather be outside than scroll through videos for hours at a time. I think social media can be okay at times, but I think there should be a time limit on how much we spend on social media. I feel like too much of it can really ruin your mental health.
Now people put this on other social media and do the same thing😂😂😂

Not everyone is like that
I deleted my Instagram and refused to make a Snapchat account. I just can't stand how people are faking their lives and proving that they are always "busy". I just can't stand people who are unfollowing people who they used to follow just to show popularity. I just can't stand how the number of likes define a person of who she/he is. Because if people are truly happy and busy in life, they wouldn't have time to prove to others that they're happy. Personally, when I started limiting my use of social media, I have learned to live in the real world. I have learned to cherish my true friends. I have learned to make genuine memories not to brag to others, but to treasure for myself.
A failure is not a loss. It's a gain.
I totally agree with you 👍
A failure is not a loss. It's a gain. Bro it's not that serious.... all I do on snapchat is post pictures of my rabbit.....
thank you....make genuine memories not fake ones to show people how much fun you are having which ain't the case
Yeahh I agree
A failure is not a loss. It's a gain. very well said! this is so true
over half of millennials portray their relationship as happier on social media than it really is, social media is full of people's carefully curated lives but it's usually not a realistic representation of everything that's going on.

1:50 restaurant scene is spot on! I have seen my friends completely indulged in taking photos and not at all talking to each other
And kinda sad when ur the only one not on ur phone 💀
I didn't actually believe that scene until your comment...My friend group was always social
This is exactly what my friends do all the time. They invite me to luxurious places only so that we can take pictures together and post it on socials.
I have a friend who invites me over and all day she’s on her phone and I’m just talking to myself lol
@@Eviiiiilspongebob man this is the worst type of idiot . I would ignore her too when she would call me next time. No middle ground here bro
I’m glad to have realised that I am not like one amongst these people in the video! I really enjoy moments with people. I pick up phone and call people when I feel like talking to them. Many people mocked me for deleting my WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and other social media accounts. Today I’m so peaceful without those status and nonsense dramas.
I met my friend for a short hike in the local forest preserve, we are old ladies in our 60s. I was excited for this three hour outing, to catch up, connect and talk. But... the moment we said good morning to each other, my friend pulled out her phone and started taking pictures of everything and anything, including ourselves. The connection did not happen, the conversation went shallow, I lost my friend being totally preoccupied with that photo session, that she later that day posted on FB.
I feel you. I can spend an hour with my sister and learn more about her day by checking out her FB including the amazing time we had at the bbq when actually it was dull and I couldn’t wait to get home. Sad because I’d love to connect but they have to want to as well.
For the last girl, with the boyfriend? I feel like social media posts like that are a huge reason why people are surprised when they break up; from the outside it all seems perfect :(
true you really don't know what goes behind the scenes
Yes I was that girl.. looks so good but in reality just fights.. and ppl on u like why did u break up with so and so.. you guys were so cute together ?!?!?
Yes it is. Because our lives are so filtered from the truth
Because no one’s life is that interesting. Filters and background work great too.
People are so busy trying to impress this world they forget that their is a world inside them
👏👏👏👏
Well said 👍😔
Truth
@Clay Art Jaz a person doesn’t know truly who they’re from experience until they’re know who and where true Loves comes from and is, Jesus Christ.
Touched!
So true. Misled all the time and comparing ourselves to falsehoods and pretences. Pitifully striving for “likes” from insignificant people who don’t even matter. The people who really matter are the ones we interact with face to face, not losers who are addicted to social media.

I know a kid a few years younger than me who only just started high school and whenever he sees me he asks if I have a phone or a TV yet. He wonders how I live without them. I wish he could see how full my life is - but I think he's too busy using TikTok and Instagram to notice.
I feel sad for people who need cconstant validation and recognition
I know it's sad , lack of self love.
Dont feel so sad for them, they sometimes hurt people if they don't get enough attention
U do realize youtube is also Social media do u.
reli:c and likes
reli:c yes😔what worries me are young people relying on that for their self esteem/ self worth
Talk about a depressing reality, Who remembers chilling with a group of friends who weren’t looking at their phone screen every 3 mins? (Sigh) 2007 Good ol days
Bro stop stereo typing us.. we use social media yeah but where not obsessed and look on it 24/7
14 Rings You sure? Don’t be to blind and look around.
I was born in 2007 😂😂 but I get your point
Idk most people i know arent on their phones 24/7.
@@Joy-bc3cs what are you doing here kid?
Thank God I left social media, I nearly ruined myself and now i am away from comparing myself and judging myself..
People actually do this?!
Yeah, I've no idea!
no. people in short films about social media do this
I had a friend who did this smh
Yes they do
insecure people do.
It's actually really sad...Thankfully I gave up my instagram account a couple of years ago and never looked back. Life has been so much more enjoyable!
Fernanda Good for you! It really does feel freeing!
Welcome to the club
Fernanda I still have my instagram account,but I don't spend too much time on it.The real struggle is when all your friends are screen addicted and they can't stay five minutes without thei r mobiles!And whatever they do they must post it,that's so hateful
scary times we live these days... people are more inclined in showing off fake lives on the internet than making themselves better in real life.... and i dont know where people get all the energy to take photos and put very long captions... i even find it funny when my friends posts a selfie with quotes underneath, they dont realize that it makes it look morbid, like as if they died.
got recommended after 5 years and still its the harsh reality of our generation!!
People on social media feel the need to post every aspect of their lives. Instead of enjoying the moment they would rather take a picture of it and show everyone else that they're 'enjoying' it. I was once like this
Norin Begum
So true. I went for a walk without my phone yesterday and I had to constantly fight the urge to take pictures... not that I could.
Norin Begum
tbh the only social media i “post” on is snapchat and i only send pictures like black background with the hour or sometimes some text lol. i don’t like posting my life on social media, and the only reason i do it on snapchat is because of the snapstreaks i started long ago
Me 2. Finally I found the right way, N I deleted Ig
I'm on social media but I barely use it to post pics, i use it for communication, like i found the instagrams of people I knew a long time ago and I'd lost their phone number
I Go to Lot of Partys bc my Boyfriend is a DJ and Most of the time i enjoy the time with the other people on the parties or Dancing Don't Using my Phone but i Take Like 3-5 Pictures and Vids.I Like to Share my memories but i just want to feel it too,Like tf Being always on the Phone when other Friends are around you? how unrespectful
This is why I do not have social media anymore. I want to be authentic to myself and also it causes me a great deal of anxiety and depression.
Same! I feel so free now!
Me too
Me tooo
I still have them but it’s as if I don’t because I haven’t been on them in months lol
So true. I know some people can function fine with social media but I am definitely not one of those people. I tried so hard to stop comparing myself to others and seeking validation in likes/comments/messages/retweets/etc. but I'd fail every time. Life without social media is pretty isolating and you quickly realize who your real friends are and who you want to always stay in touch with.
We used to have a name for people like this back in the day... we called them posers.
I've deleted facebook, insta, Twitter, and snapchat. I've never felt better! Focus on yourself and the people who are closest.
I didnt even notice I was living like this until I deleted my account for a week. 🙈 Resisting the urge to make things look insta-worthy from now on and focusing on actual life. Love it!!!
same!
Same 😌🌻
Relate tho
For me it’s the opposite. I never really liked having many social media but I’m just curious so I’ll give it a shot.
lol
I'm on the edge of quitting social media. The fakeness we portray and see from others on daily basis is driving us crazy. I do even catch myself doing it occasionally I'm not sure if it's really a gap within us that we're trying to fill or in my case it was kinda a rivarly type of thing.
I think because social media is like something we own. Like our personal space. Like there are no rules but our own. We can control it on the way we want it. When we want and where we want it. Anything that we cannot achieve instantly or express from a normal non social media relationship/life, we can put or say in social media. Social media is instant gratification that it can be addicting. And while being addicted, what's true and what is make believe can be mixed. That's when we can go to extremes bcos it's is gratifying. I want to explain my opinion more but i just have little hard time elaborating it. I dont use my FB anymore. Twitter is useless to me. I visit my instagram once in a while. You Tube is what i enjoy. Hehe..
Quit it best thing i ever did!
I have never entered, I only use WhatsApp and Messenger just to chat with my friends.
PREACH
you should definitely do it if you just want to live your life. i left all social medias because everyone only cares about what others think and its so depressing.
Social media has played a huge part in depression we don't socially interact with each other anymore and we see what we want to this video is a great example showing what we see on camera isn't necessarily the truth people put your devices down a few hours a day and life in the real world.
I got into photography in 1975 and have never had the urge to constantly take pictures of myself. Actually, I quickly came to not like taking pictures of people. They always want to look anyway BUT normal. When overseas I'd walk around with my camera positioned so people couldn't tell I was taking pictures just so they wouldn't ham it up.
It's kind of funny to look at pictures taken years ago, people were actually awkward when the camera caught them. Almost bashful. Makes you wonder what it will be like in another 50 years.
She’s not happy with her boyfriend, but happy with the likes ..
Just like your happy with your likes
wow you're quick
@@lieutenanttom9733 u sir, have earned my respect.

Always knew those "Woke up like this" pics were a lie
Marie Cajalne yea no one can ever woke up like that😂
Good one 👍👍😂😂

Marie Cajalne Hey single? I'm shy so asking like this way xD, never had a gf :(, so are you?
leavemewheneveryoufindsomeoneelseasothersdotoo :( dude. This aint a dating app. Are you sure you’re okay?
Social media is sadly like this. False reality. Putting expectations on society which isnt even real
I work at the farmers market and a girl came, took pictures in front of the produce, then left. I was like 😐
They said taking picture is to keep the memories, but that's not the case for today's world, it's more like bragging about your boring daily life that you created to make it look "fun", "happy", "luxurious", "my life is perfect", while it actually just for attention and gaining more likes, get a life and stop thinking what other people thinks about you
I deleted my facebook account around three years ago. I NEVER want to go back to social media. My husband and I are actually talking about unplugging from mainstream tech and switching to flip phones for awhile to see the impact it can have on our mental health and culture in our home. I pray we succeed in that decision. 💛
It's going to be a great decision
the 2 worst people i met in my travels were 2 Europeans with no FB accounts. Even the coolest people have an account. They just never used it though. They dont post anything... but they on bday, you can at least get a greeting. So FB is not so bad. Just dont add friends and family.
@@eduardochavacano why do you say they're the worst? what did they do?
If you do, can you do a video on the process and outcome 😃
I hope you never read this because you're too busy living your life instead of wasting it watching other people. I think I might just give it up too. ❤
