RE: Psychology Addict # 38 | Social Media – What is Your Cue to Stop?

in #psychology6 years ago

Many times people show in social networks a life that is not really the one they live, usually they usually place their pictures in good places and not in bad and even pictures of places where they have never visited. A person sees among his followers that everyone travels, everyone goes to the beach, everyone goes to parties, everyone boasts luxurious cars and houses, and perhaps causes a little trauma and feels inferior. And surely the reality is that the photo of the beach is from a month ago, the photo of the party is from last year because he has no money to go out, the photo is with a rental car and the house belongs to a friend.

Hello there @jesusvieira :)

I have come across research that found that those who are authentic have a much, much better experience on social media and benefit more from it than those who aren't! If people want to do that ... well, sure there must be a reason why. Nevertheless, we don't have to give them audience. Don't you think?

Thank you for commenting.
All the best.
