What does social media show us versus reality?
Social media only shows us curated highlight reels of positives - brief 15-20 second moments of happiness through a rose-colored lens designed to make us watch, click, and admire. The remaining 23+ hours of daily reality with struggles, arguments, and imperfections are deliberately hidden. People showcase only what makes them appear perfect to attract viewers, leading us to falsely believe these idealized snippets represent their entire lives. This disconnect between social media portrayal and actual reality creates harmful comparisons where we question why our lives don't match what we're seeing, when in fact we're subscribing to a constructed lie.
