No one likes a complainer, right? This is called our self-presentation.
Most of us refrain from sharing the negative, even when we’re going through something serious. Why couldn’t I make my marriage work? Why am I still living in this rented apartment or with roommates instead of owning my own home? Why has my career sputtered? Why did I get in trouble, while they can keep clean? Why can’t I be as happy as them? What is wrong with me? If you’re like me, you’ve been down that rabbit-hole of self-doubt many times.īut think about it: when you share or post something on social media, it is generally something positive about yourself. Their beautiful families, homes, their careers.īut when we’re feeling down on ourselves, we tend to start wondering why such success has passed us by. Of course, we’re happy for our friends and their successes in life. When we scroll through our Facebook news feeds, we see pictures and updates on everyone’s seemingly perfect lives. This is a why and how guide to doing just that. However, it is possible to deactivate Facebook itself, while maintaining valuable contacts through the Facebook Messenger. While Facebook has the benefit of keeping one in contact with family and friends, news feeds are often a waste of productivity and paint an inaccurate picture of what is actually happening in people’s lives. Social media, especially Facebook, only makes this worse. Often times when we are feeling down on ourselves, we compound the issue by comparing ourselves to others. Facebook feeds are just not worth it anymore
