Social media life; a whack

"Some people try too hard for social media but not hard enough in real life" Annie

"Fake it till you make it" refers to the idea that one can succeed by projecting competence, assurance, and a positive outlook.

Since they utterly fake everything that revolves around them, the so-called social media influencers have corrupted the genuine meaning of this adage. Unfortunately, this habit has also been adopted by the general populace.

It's all artificial, exactly like the battles in WWE, believe it or not. Nobody's life is as blissfully wonderful as these influencers portray it to be on social media. So, is it odd that after admiring someone on social media, you are confused when you eventually meet them in person?

Being faultless at all times is a difficult effort, and persuading others of this successfully can be even more difficult. Even after taking so many chances, many choose to inauthentically glamourize their less-than-ideal existence.

I don't just know an exact reason why people post so many fairytale plays on their online social media profiles. Posing attractively on social media platforms is an addiction for materialistic people. To maintain their ideal living image, they frequently flaunt their possessions on this site, including their automobiles, beverages, and even their shoes. Social media is LIFE for someone like this!

Most people have uninteresting lives. Not everyone has a cup of Starbucks in their hands when they awaken. We live in a routine in which we either attend school or college or go to work after waking up in the morning. So, even if we pretend for a time, these platforms give us a means to make it a little bit more enjoyable and thrilling.

Each of us has a favorite thing or person that we want to emulate by adopting their way of life, accent, or beliefs.

When we try to lead two distinct lives, we forget that it isn't who we are; we forget our true selves. And we only realize this when people respond differently to us in person.

It's now feasible to become famous on social media.

You've undoubtedly heard this a hundred times: someone suddenly became popular on Instagram. Anyone who likes fame? Sincerity be damned, it's like a drug. Not everyone finds social media fame to be their cup of tea. But regardless of whether it makes us famous or notorious, we frequently mimic our personalities to catch people's attention with just our thoughts. Even in a negative way, social media fame may drastically alter your life in an instant.

You shouldn't reveal your vulnerabilities on social media. It's a nightmare to be harassed or made fun of online because of your fears. Not everyone can take the insults and jokes that strangers have to offer.

People therefore try to appear to be someone else to gain attention on these platforms rather than displaying their most vulnerable sides.

We always try to escape our circumstances, but doing so by distorting who we are as individuals isn't the best strategy. Social media has grown to be so crucial to us even if it is all phony.

We may only experience a little dopamine high when many people like our images, but that modest incentive drives us to do it repeatedly. But in the end, all that matters is having confidence in yourself, accepting your shortcomings, conquering insecurities, and giving up seeking external validation.

Behind every perfect Instagram post is a normal person, with normal problems. Every time we open Instagram or Snapchat, all we see is their fantastical, too-good-to-be-true existence and we feel sorry for how our own, routine lives. No one's life is as ideal as it appears on social media. A highlight reel exists on social media. It's a selection of flawless moments that have been carefully chosen and exquisitely edited. However, it's not actual life. They bicker with their loved ones, have terrible hair days, and experience stress and overwhelm just as you do.

In order to avoid feeling inferior the next time you're going through social media, keep in mind that you're actually comparing your daily life to someone else's highlight reel. Do not let the appearance of perfection on social media cause you to feel unsatisfied with your life. It is. It is exactly imperfect, which is how it ought to be.

Happy new month!! Stay real and live

the rest of our year!!

Dreamers, wake up and embrace reality!!😊
