It's articles like these that remind me that what we see on social media isn't always the whole truth of the situation/person/event/whatever the social media happens to be describing. Most of us only post the best parts of our lives on our various social media platforms, yet the rest of us viewing those posts don't know that and just assume that that's how everyone's lives are like - which leads to a feeling of envy (regarding the other people's lives) or depression (regarding our lives). I think there has been a study on this (and obviously, Facebook has been playing with peoples' emotions recently), so I will try and find more concrete evidence of this in the morning (or at least, later in the morning).
