Yeah, and this goes for life in general too. Social media and the internet in general gives a very skewed picture of the situation for most people, since others will almost only share their successes or things that can be construed as a success rather than their failures. No, not everyone has all the latest tech, is watching/reading/playing the latest media, has a super easy life with a great job and fantastic network of friends, etc. It's just those with those things share information about their situation more than those who don't have them.
Maybe in all cases, we should start encouraging people to share their failures and what not instead of just their success stories...
- mikelyons 9y agoSharing your failures build a track record that could potentially get in the way of future success. When an employer wants a "proven track record" they don't want a huge string of failures, and probably wont hire you if that's what you have. Thus the incentive to hide failure and highlight success.
