Social media is a filthy arena dripping with envy and jealousy. We can't help but compare ourselves to people we see in our feed.
That's so very true. The tricky part is that people who are posting those amazing things aren't even trying to be malicious; they're just sharing the best parts of their lives, which is really what we all want to do. Every person's day to day is so mundane (get up, go to work/school/get children to school, do some chores, stare at a wall in boredom, etc) that when we finally do get something amazing we want to share it because it excites us! And of course, there's someone who is still at work/at school/staring at the wall and so on who sees that and gets jealous, and so forth.
I've been putting off watching that documentary because I haven't wanted to depress myself. 😂
I totally agree with the sharing tendency in socmed. What good is a feeling if it's not shared? But...people throw rocks at things that shine 🤷♀️ Tech creators must take the challenge of redesigning the system in a better way.
It does mess up with the mind, a bit. Haha! There's a point where they show clips of chaos around the world. This film is not for the faint of heart. Truth is a hard pill to swallow. Oh wait, we don't know what's the truth anymore 😅
LOL! Yeah, the truth is all a hoax anyway, isn't it? 😂 We're a strange, strange people.
