It's not just emotional support, it's the bubble of "pretty" social networking. Even people who hate eachother will smile in a photo for instagram and will look like they "love" eachother. People just post the filtered best moments of their lives, their best experiences, a lot of pretty stuff, and they filter out the rest... nice photo of a beach? Sure.. sewer pipe just outside of visible photo? Nope, cropped out. Roaches in the cheap shitty hotel? Nope. Nice sunset? Sure. Saving for months for that trip? Nope. Travelling 16 hours on a bus? Nope. Cocktail with an umbrella? Yep, photo! And then there's you, doing all the same shitty stuff everyone else has to go through, sitting on the toilet at work, scrolling instagram, and you don't see any of that, but you get an impression that everyone else is living a much better life, because you only see the highlights of their life. And then you save all that money, spend it on the same shitty bus, for the same shitty hotel and sewer infested beach, but you still crop out only the pretty stuff and post that.
