We are what we are and we do what we do, beating ourselves up about it does not help, and as FreeDragon says we don't really know what is really going on in other peoples lives or in their minds.<br />Norm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152532055090335650.post-80806019423588312152019-07-18T12:55:49.980+01:002019-07-18T12:55:49.980+01:00FreeDragon - I agree!FreeDragon - I agree!Badwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548605170878666546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152532055090335650.post-61819172906718323932019-07-18T12:03:29.102+01:002019-07-18T12:03:29.102+01:00One of the reasons social media makes feel bad abo...One of the reasons social media makes feel bad about ourselves is that we usually see the best of someone's life- their accomplishments, achievements, what makes them happy, etc. All carefully edited for maximum effect, and we compare that to our whole life. We feel jealous of vacation photos but we never see how many long hours were put in. We envy perfect couple photos but don't see how often they argue. We see the top 1% happy moments and think that is the person's entire life.
