Why fool people?

most likely their "friends" on FB don't need to know their business. You don't need to share everything with others once you put things out online and FB often includes friends and sometimes co-workers or networking type communication much different than on here.

People don't want the world to see their dirty laundry.

I am on here, telling people all the good things about my family, and how happy I am with them. And it's true, but it's not the whole story. I have one grandson who respects no one; not even his mother or his daughter. I have a grandson who has social anxiety, and can't leave the house without having an attack. A daughter who hates the world. A daughter who thinks every person in the world wants her dead, including strangers passing her house.

I don't share those things on Facebook. It isn't even just my privacy that I'm protecting, but my family doesn't need all their private problems told to everyone who knows their kids, friends, in-laws, neighbours. Some things are not anybody's business.

I share some here, because no one knows who they are. I'm not betraying their privacy.

It's not your family alone.
It's everybody's families

because image is important.

I think it's because that's the only way they can live that fairytale life, by pretending everything is great and they feel validated by others "liking" their stuff.

FB=fib book

It's the facade of fakenes and wishful dreaming

That's the face they want to show the world. They also know the truth.
