How to cope with depression due to photos of successful Facebook friends

The ideal life of your Facebook friends makes to look at life differently. While others have fun, travel and buy new expensive things, you sit at the computer, working a regular job and in general feel part of the gray mass. The problem is you? Or is that your friends are - hypocrites? Let's investigate.

Of course, you are not alone. In my belt too, is full of photos of successful friends who scuba dive in the Atlantic Ocean, receive gifts and never leave the cool restaurants and nightclubs. In comparison with these photos and posts, my life can not be called anything else but to existence.

Have you ever thought about what you're doing wrong? Why at that time, as you have reduced the salaries because of the crisis, your friend in Facebook boasted a photo where he is sitting in his new car? Why your friends are always just a beautiful place somehow magically never be mistaken with the choice? Why do they never fall into the dirty coffee shop, eating only food and always beautiful, even at home, alone, look great?

What you do not

Surprisingly, it's not you. You're not a loser (maybe a few), and if you look at your life with the right "feysbuchnogo" angle, it can also cause envy in others.

The vast majority of people in social networks put on masks. We do not want to share who we really are, and show only those aspects of life that are proud. Each record and photograph must show how we are happy, successful and socially active.

In reality it is not so.

For each photo has a story. And it is not always happy. Your friend can hardly write that he took credit for his new car and now does not know how to pay it. And your girlfriend is unlikely to say how she had quarreled with her boyfriend before he gave her a beautiful bouquet of balloons.

Facebook - a platform that simply created in order to demonstrate the positive and downplay the negative aspects of his life. We are trying to turn your life into a gloss. Remember how the stars look in popular magazines? Perfect look, the perfect life, the perfect thing. Facebook - this is our glossy magazine, in which everyone can look like a star.

People living an incredible life, do not need to show it to anyone on the social networks. They so enjoy it, just do not find the time and desire to share remarkable moments.

How to deal with the feeling that your life - shit?

Tips can be many. The ideal, but impossible - to close Facebook and forget about it once and for all. The problem is that you probably would not do, so there are some other solutions.

Ignore these photos and posts

Now that you know what is good for each published event comes with a dozen bad, but utaonnyh, will make it easier. Remember that your life and the lives of your friends, as the medal has two sides, and people are used to show a shiny side.

Not compare yourself with the "ideal" friends, and with an ideal version of yourself

Say to yourself, what you do not like your life. You thick? So, think about what steps to take to get rid of excess weight. Trapped and do not know how to talk to people? Go through acting classes or watch performances by renowned speakers.

Imagine that you are at the same time sculpture and master. You can make himself the ideal.

Living in the Facebook unreal

You do not need to feel bad because of the life that show your friends on Facebook. They do not always eat delicious food, traveling to beautiful places, have fun and relax. They are people just like you. Do not compare yourself with them. Better to turn your life into a dream.
