This is awesome, my sister was just telling me the other day about somebody she stopped following because her husband just looked so done with it in the pictures. Actually she unfollowed a lot because it started to creep her out but I never thought about the husband behind the camera. I actually do know somebody who constantly posts on social media about how great her life is and how in love she is while talking about how unhappy she is in real life to the select few people. It's probably the most depressing thing I witness on a daily basis. The last bit of this video reminded me of that.
That's one of the things I love about Hubski. When people post stuff like that, it's more in depth stuff or stuff that requires talent to make. lil's and _refugee_'s writing, thenewgreen's and randomuser's music, etc. It's not like "Here's a picture of my bagel guys!"I actually do know somebody who constantly posts on social media about how great her life is and how in love she is while talking about how unhappy she is in real life to the select few people.

That's very true, if I ever posted something here about my baking it would be pretty indepth and actually talking about it. When I post a picture on Instagram of the same thing it's a quick little post because I'm weirdly proud of how perfect the onions look. What I will likely never do is post a picture of something I picked out at the store. This girl though, it's a whole new level that you're likely not even thinking of. It's 3 selfies a day minimum, constant posts about how much she loves her kids, her boyfriend, and her life in general. All while actually hating everything.
It's pretty bad and unfortunately she is surrounded by mainly just enablers. In reality she really needs counselling because she's putting them up in hopes somebody will compliment her constantly. I'm all for getting a compliment every once in a while but if you need at least 3 a day to sustain you that's a problem. Hating your life but pretending to like it on social media can't be healthy either.
Yeah. I'm no psychologist or anything, but I can see where she might have some problems seeking validation in her life. I don't think in that particular scenario such behavior is healthy. In her defense though, I also think that online interactions, especially when with people that we view as our peers and friends, can be just as emotionally relevant as real world interactions. It speaks a lot to our desire to connect with people and the fact that the internet gives us another mechanism to fulfill that desire is wonderful. Case in point . . .
That's a pretty relevant point because when I've been around her in person she seems to either have a very hard time connecting with the group or seem really out of place trying. I think her social media persona gives her a lot of what most people get in regular life, which wouldn't be so bad if she didn't make it all up.
Oh, yeah, I know what you mean. One of my friends, when he's not at work, spends all of his time on the computer. Day in and day out. He has tons of online friends and is always talking to someone. He's very personable, really well liked. When we go out drinking together, with other friends of mine, we make sure he feels included but he has a real hard time of it. He's just more comfortable online. I wouldn't be surprised if your friend felt similar.
