Does Social Media Actually Reflect Reality?

Social media does not show the true reality of life. When you see someone’s status or story, you may think that your life is very sad and that you are not enjoying it. You might feel that only some people are truly living their lives while you are not.

Sometimes you are not posting anything, or you only post occasionally. But when you skip your own status and look at someone else’s, you may think, “Iski life kitni achi hai” (How good their life is). The reason is that people usually assume that what they see in posts and stories is real. They do not think about what is behind the story because they only see the front side, not the back side of someone’s life.
