When it comes to social media, many people tend to portray a life of perfection online compared to what they are often going through in real life. This can often leave many seeing a different side to someone's life and comparing their life with the life someone is describing they have online and it can often lead to mood changes for those who look at these statuses and compare them with their own lives. All too often they also do not realize that many portray a life of perfection online to make themselves feel better.
I remember when I used to scroll on Facebook a lot before I moved away from it quite a bit, I used to see so many people posting about how perfect their life was, how they had great days out with family and such but that is all they seemed to post. It got me thinking that my life wasn't like that and I used to feel down about it until I realized a lot of people only tend to put out there what they want others to hear and not the bad side of their life. Coming away from social media like I had helped me become less down whilst using social media and my outlook on social media now has changed a lot.
Do you find social media affects your mood? If so, in what way does it affect your mood?
