Why social networks make us unhappy
Everybody uses social networks. They become the main communication tool for many people. Social networks allow us to share pictures and videos with our friends, read the news, chat with people all over the world. Isn't it great? Yes, it is, but what pictures and information do we usually post on our personal pages? We post photos from our journeys, restaurant visits, parties. Nobody makes a post about being late on a job, waiting for an hour in a traffic jam, breaking up with a girlfriend. When you read a news feed, you see that everyone is extremely happy and successful. Everyone, except you. Social networks make us think that our life is less interesting and exciting that lives of others. As a result, we start following this strategy and try to post the best moments of our lives to prove everybody that we are as happy as them. For example, a person may go to the party and, even if the party is awful, to post a photo where the person smiles and pretends to have fun. Isn't it absurd?

And, yes, I agree with you. Networking creates a distorted image of reality. I suppose the cause is that we want people to read and correct our interesting texts, not boring and routine daily life.

At the end is how you use the tools you're given. but yeah you're right. Another problem with that is people becoming superficial, prejudiced or intolerant, distraction, etc. I really find it rude when people are on their phones when there's a reunion or when you're trying to have a conversation.
