Most people’s online presence are a carefully curated window of their lives, ranging from rose tinted glasses, all the way to outright fraud.
So I’d say it ranges from sorta to absolutely.
- WelcomeShorty 5y agoMaybe I am old or just tainted, but in my experience people have always lied as much as today. Basically as much as you get away with and then some. Surely "online" makes it easier to vastly over act / lie in that specific "carefully curated window" (I like that expression, will steal it from you), but AFK people have not changed in my experience.

"oh it was horrible, plane delays, no transport to the hotel, shitty hotel, cockroaches, sewer pouring into the sea, cold water, shitty hotel food, rain 5/6 days, it sucked" vs. *Instagram: one perfectly positioned and cropped photo of the beach, shot during the only sunny day of the vacation
- wink 5y agoYou're joking but I recently found an old post of mine from an awesome vacation (but it wasn't really sunny) and one photo posted to facebook with, paraphrasing, "Oh hey, finally the sun is shining" but the photo is simply less grey than the others :D
