Why fool people?

So I have these family members on FB and all their family pics are so happy and perfect and people are commenting on a great marriage on facebook but I know the real them and how they hate each other and all the fights and tears... Why are they fooling everyone?

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.

@Serenitree: yeah when the person is not ready ---don't push him definitely. can you bring a therapist home i mean they can do a session in his bed. He is not the only one like this. Those therapists seen everything

@IamTrying: it's not my place to do so. I am the grandmother. If his mother won't do it, it's because she knows there will be a problem if she does.

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.

It's the facade of fakenes and wishful dreaming
That's the face they want to show the world. They also know the truth.
