Link To Confidence Tip:
If you were an alien looking at the Instagram news feed, you would have to conclude that most humans spend their lives in leisure traveling and smiling all day long. You assume that there were far more honeymoons and fights -- far more moments of laughing so hard that you cry than an actual crying and far more successes than failures but none of that is true.
Our lives are not represented by the photos that we share. We are pretending and it comes at a dire cost. There's been a lot said about the dangers of consuming social media. After all, the sites are designed to be more addictive than crack. The articles do little more than waste your time and the misrepresentation of how people live can lead to depression with the state of your own life but those are the easy criticisms.
The real danger of Instagram and other social media sites is not in what we consume but in what we create. Think of it this way -- every time you post a photo you are contributing to the creation of a persona. Kind of like in a video game -- you post a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower and your sophistication stat goes up, you delete a photo where you look bad and your beauty stat goes up, or you share a funny meme and your humor step goes up.
