11 Images Illustrate “Pretension vs Reality” of People on Social Media
Have you ever needed to be the kind of person you see every day on your Facebook wall? Have you ever needed to live in a white castle with a brand new BMW like your friend, because that person has uploaded an image on Facebook? You may get jealous of the fairness of a person just because of the lenses that have been put on the picture. Then, you think to be fairer and go to a beauty salon. However, the person whom you saw last night on your Facebook wall might be a person who is totally different from that pretended appearance. People can hide their genuine appearance with a click, as the perfect shots popping up daily on social media. Although you could see a smiling elegant face on social media, behind that single smile there might be a tragic story that we never imagined.
It is true that we share things that make us feel happy on social media. However, the reality might differ from that. We can enjoy amazing works of photographers, but we cannot believe that to be real. What we could do is just hit a like, drop a comment and share!
Accordingly, the following eleven images may illustrate how people play dual roles and these will showcase the pretended appearance vs reality of people.
1. “We can be great advocates for noble causes, but sometimes it takes some work to actually do something about it.”
2. “We sometimes have interests that we do not share with people in real life but that we do share online.”
3. “We can admire exemplary relationships without knowing what really happens behind the scenes.”
4. “Some people are very well-known online, but it’s a completely different story when you meet them in real life.”
5. “We all have friends who only miss us online…”
6. “Parties and meetings can be seen from more than one point of view.”
7. “It can be fun to take pictures of our food but pretty food isn’t the same as good food.”
8. “Sunsets! Oh, if only we could actually share what we feel when we see them.”
9. “We often turn out to be the spoiler of our own story.”
10. “Things in real life are a bit messier than what you see on social media.”
11. “Even motherhood looks a lot simpler on the internet, but actually it’s just as hard as it’s always been.”
Thus, these images showcase that we are living in an illusionary world. It is better to take nothing serious that has been shared in social media.
