Ever wonder how it is that everyone on Facebook looks like theyre having a great time? Fantastic lives with fun adventures, deep romances, beautiful friends, and amazing jobs. Its enough to make you feel less than inadequate, but its also a lie. Nobody is really as happy as their Facebook wall claims, as this piercing short film from HigtonBros confirms, and this is why you shouldnt take peoples Facebook lives seriously. So the next time youre driven to jealousy by a Facebook friends humble-bragging about his or her awesome life, dont forget: Theyre probably embellishing it for social media, even if its unconsciously. Ultimately, Facebook is a narcissistic playground where the best, the funniest, the most charming aspects of our lives are publicized, and the shitty stuff, the boring stuff, the beige that is most of our daily grind almost never gets posted. All those walls are edited at some level and that makes them, at best, a deformed mirror image of real life or, at worst, nothing more than a fictional movie of how we want people to see us. The solution? Just go live your life, focus on your present reality, and ignore the circus of social media. Trust that, and youll be a lot happier with you.
