It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking everyone else’s life is perfect because they are always posting photos of the best moments

- longhairedhippy 5y agoI was going to say this myself and it's the exact reason I left all social media platforms. So many times I came away feeling bad about myself, I can do that plenty on my own, I don't need digital help.
- Permit 5y agoThis is often repeated and I think it's probably true, but I wonder if there's even more to it than this. Presumably there is some subset of the population that *really is* having much better lives than another subset of the population. I don't think anyone here would deny this, but it must feel different to know this fact in an abstract sense than it is to actually see it. The topic of meritocracy comes up here from time to time. I don't think such a society could exist, but if it did, wouldn't it be an absolute nightmare for the bottom 20% (50%?) of the population?
