Woman Wonders why She Doesn't have a Great Life Like Everyone Else on Facebook

BABBLERS PRESS - "They're always going on trips," said a local woman through tears, referring to her hundreds of Facebook friends who seem to be living an exceptionally happy and exciting life. "And their kids seem to be jewels of perfection." she continued. "Always smiling. Always winning medals and trophies. Am I the only one left on the planet with a dysfunctional family?" 

After several hours of counselling the woman began to realize that Facebook does not always present an accurate picture of a person's life. "People tend to post pictures of special events and times when they appear to be happy," said the counsellor, who specializes in 'Facebook Depression.' "They usually don't post pictures when they're sad or grumpy." 

The counsellor said it's not uncommon for people to smile just for a picture and then go right back to frowning. "We've even heard of cases where families on vacation stopped arguing long enough to take a family selfie and then continued fighting like cats and dogs once their little photoshoot is over," she further explained. 

Meanwhile, the woman is still debating whether to spend less time on Facebook or to further max out her VISA in a last ditch effort to live a lifestyle she can't really afford. ​
