I met someone on Instagram recently. She makes me remind of the lecture we discussed before about social media and Instagram. I knew this person in real life and I just happened to have her Instagram account. So I added her as friend. What she posted on Instagram is all about her life. Maybe food she cooked or restaurant she went, or clothes she just bought. All kinds of thing are posted on Instagram by her to show off how her life is wonderful and happy. In fact, because I share a same course with her, I have heard about a lot of complains she said about the class or other things. But this is negative emotion, she never shows on the Instagram.
Think of myself. I just do the same thing. I am really busy these days, all the assignments and prepared for the final. And I also have something unhappy with my friend, which makes me really upset. But if you look my Instagram, you couldn't find anything negative attitude. I am faking my life on Instagram.
The reason why I like faking my life on Instagram maybe because it just about photo. I took some pretty photo and posted on it without any comment. No one could tell how I really feel. They just know how easy my life is. I am using Instagram to advertise my life, to convince myself that I do have a good day and nothing troubles me. My point is that Instagram is a wonderland which has many good things on it but we should not believe all of it. You think you know who they are but they may faking their life on Instagram.
