There are so much effects of social media in this world, there are also advantages and disadvantages. It just depends on how we use it.
The power of social media living a fake life. When you are real and authentic, people will appreciate you for what you are and who you are, not until you buy expensive clothes before you can be recognized.
I have an example of someone who posted so many videos and pictures on Instagram, but people don't like his post, later he decided to change and live a fake life, borrow money to buy clothes, borrowed cars and so on. Could you believe that people started commenting on his posts, which shouldn't be. Some of this prompt people to live a fake life.
You don't need to lie, you don't need to do any of that, when you start from humble beginnings or you even just start from where you are, people will see that there's value in you and you have substance, not until you pretend.
And please let's appreciate when people is real, don't let this fake people fake us anymore.
Yes We just have to be plain and real, because we don't know who will help us.
