Why does social media make it seem like everybody else is having more fun than you? The answer is simple. They’re not. They just look like they are. Don’t be fooled by their pictures of wild parties, hipster lunch dates, tranquil yoga sessions and romantic outings with their significant other, because as you can see from the video below, not everything is quite as it seems.
The video was created by Ditch the Label, an anti-bullying organisation working in the USA, UK, and Mexico, and the purpose of the film is to highlight how the “perfect” lives that people strive to imitate are often not so perfect after all. Created in partnership with fashion house boohoo.com, the video raises important questions about truth, perception, and identity. “We’re all guilty of twisting the truth a little bit on social media,” writes Ditch the Label on their website, “but at which point has it gone too far?”

Same! I visit fb maybe once a month after previously being a daily user, and I'm reminded instantly why I'm not using it anymore.

Wow, that would be too exhausting for me. If I meet my friends, I meet my friends, sure maybe we look from time to time at our smartphone, but mostly we talk and have fun. If I would meet a friend who looks all the time on his phone, I would just ask him to put it away or at least ask if there is a reason. For me, this video isn't true, but I know people who seems to act like this. But they aren't my friends.

This is something that everyone watching social media photos should see. Along with the reveal pictures of how you should pose to look stunning or how "natural" photos look like and the process of creating them. Not to mention to raise the awareness of photoshoped pictures. Maybe then people will start to aknowledge true beauty and actual worth of everything. Cause really A LOT of content in the Internet is simply FAKE.
