When I’ve made my sporadic checks to social media lately, it hurts to scroll. Not just because my arthritic hands but because of how people seem so forced to prove something to everyone else.

People are more concerned about getting likes and views from people they don’t even know and have nothing to do with their life than they are concerned with fixing or maintaining any actual real life relationship.

People will go to events and ruin them for everyone else because they are set on trying to get the perfect picture to show everyone how great their life is instead of living in the moment. Wait, hold on…stop the fucking concert…so and so hasn’t looked at my snap? But he looked at yours? What the fuck. Let’s take five more so the people behind us can’t see.

Well guess what people, no one needs 5 pictures of your mutt drinking a bottle. The only people who care are the pedophiles, child molesters, and pervs who are taking all the pictures of your kids you put on public social media and selling them or jacking off to them. Just what you wanted, attention! I’m sure some people do care, it just boggles my mind the stuff people will put on public forums. Hey a cute picture of your kid naked in the bathtub isn’t as innocent to someone else as it is to you.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve posted stuff for attention too. Everyone wants to be reminded somehow that their life is of some importance and a reason to feel good, so they post something. Then you get to scrolling and see that one of your friends didn’t like your picture where you thought you looked so gorgeous, but they commented on another friends picture. HOW DARE THEY?! Then your mind goes into overdrive wondering if they found out you slept with their brother…or if they found out you slept with their sister…or if they found out you slept with their brother and sister at the same time but it wasn’t weird because they didn’t touch…or is that weird still? I can’t ask them their opinion because then they will know it happened!!! It didn’t but that should go to show you the insanity behind social media. Then you start to think because your friends didn’t like your picture that you aren’t their standard of pretty and that you are worthless. So you post another to see if you get any more attention. And another. And another. And then you’re the one that you used to complain about.

Can anyone tell I’m pissy today? If you’re happy, go on with your bad self. Fake it until you make it. And just remember, lives that are actually that interesting aren’t documented on social media. 😂

Fuck I need an ego boost, why did I not post a bikini picture before I posted this?!!? Bloody hell. Oh and quit replying all on fucking work emails too, no one needs that shit either!
