I Have A Question For You

Cloud41, .. I have a good friend on FB. Her finances are a wreck, but everyone else who looks at her posts, would think she is living a very good life ..
That alone taught me that what people portray to others is more often than not a smokescreen ..

Btw, Quizling is a very nice dude, if you take him up on that offer, you may feel better indeed :)
Or you might feel like kicking him in the you know where :D .. Which will make you feel better too :D

People get wrapped up in what others have! There will always be someone that has more than the other, all the way to richest person in the world...stop comparing, and create your own life, and stop living someone else's life. Facebook is a social site, hence being social is not a place to air dirty laundry, so of course you will see only the positive things going on. Happiness is created in your own mind by you alone. What you think all the time is what will come true for you!

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't...You are right!

People I haven't seen in a while tell me "Oh wow, from the look of Facebook you're really having a whale of a time" and then I think ... "If only my life was really the way it looks on Facebook". It's all smoke and mirrors Cloud ... You're not missing out at all. But if you think it will help you cope, do what you need to do to get by!

I hope you feel better soon *hugs*

Depressing sucks. I think when we get low everything seems better then what we have, As for FB some people only post the good stuff in there lives and the others are drama looking for attention. Deleting FB wont make things better just avoid it for a few days and find another outlit, like here to write stories. Good luck

I thought it was only me who thinks like that.

Oh Cloud ... You sound just like me!! I was telling my girlfriends just the other day that I'm sick to death of being alone or in an impossible relationship ... I just wish I could find someone real and available to love me!

I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that you find much love and happiness, you deserve it xx

Maybe you're indulging in a little self pity, we can all have such days even if its not our natural tendency. The best thing is to not compare yourself to other people. And facebook is mostly people boasting about things that are questionable whether they've actually been done.

Thisisme, it's mostly feeling bad about being single and not being able to afford to go on big trips. Everybody on my Fb is married and taking wonderful trips. But yeah like most of you have said, they only show the happy parts.

If you want to feel better about your life, then just spend five or ten minutes speaking with me...

That should realign your perspective! x

Here here but I sometimes wonder if their lives are as good as they make them out to be !

@Rowena - So sweet... with tendencies towards violence, lol :p x

I feel the exact same way. Sorry you're feeling this way.
