The "success" that you see on social media is probably exaggerated at any rate.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoIt's not necessarily even exaggeration as much as selection bias. If you have enough "friends" on social media, statistically every other day one of them will post something they're proud/happy about, making your feed a constant stream of other people's "success". But the brain is having a hard time dividing these streams by the number of people in your feed; it feels as if it was a small group of people who have it all.
