What is the reality behind social media relationships?

Social media is fundamentally deceptive, presenting only brief 'highlight reels' of positivity through rose-colored lenses. It showcases 10-20 seconds of happiness while concealing the 23+ hours of daily struggles, arguments, and conflicts that comprise real life. No one shares their difficulties on social media platforms. People curate positive content to attract viewers and inspire admiration, leading audiences to eventually believe these portrayals represent reality. This creates unrealistic expectations as viewers begin wondering why their own lives don't match the polished 15-second glimpses they see of others. The uncomfortable truth is that these perfect-looking relationships are carefully manufactured illusions that hide the complex, imperfect reality of everyday life.
