Microblog: Real Life versus Social Media — Cutting against the Grain
We know the saying “it must be real because it’s on the internet.” And even though we know it, it’s easy to believe a lot on social media.
♥️We follow someone because of a post or two. We get to know them and like them.
Then we think everything they share is true.
❗️But a lot of social media is curated.
🎩You can see changes to the CATG thumbnail. My @CarnivoreCure designer magically removed bag straps and grew me an arm.
❓What else are we seeing on social media that isn’t real? Or on mainstream media?
👥Many of us see things on social media and then implement them. But for some reason, it doesn’t seem to work the same way for us. As humans, we tend to self-blame. It’s our fault it didn’t work.
But MAYBE it’s not you.
💥Maybe you were sold something that was curated, for you to act or follow.
Sorry, but NO ONE does social media long-term from the kindness of their heart. (especially large accounts)
