I agree about people making their lives seem more exciting. I think old school photo albums did the same thing though with photos of family vacations etc. When I look through my facebook photos I think, "Man, I've done some fun stuff!" but I'm not posting photos of mundane moments. There are also people who constantly post about their woes and join the competition as "MY life is so much more miserable than yours." <br />Thanks for the post :)Erica Cavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16805807920720805657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637965532309107478.post-49498486839074107342013-01-11T08:10:52.786-08:002013-01-11T08:10:52.786-08:00Interesting!

I'm a firm believer that most people view Facebook as a means of competition to prove who has the best life. People seem to try and make their lives seem more exciting than most others, so I certainly get the spending more money correlation. I like to catch up with what other people are doing, see where they are currently living etc. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10370342828453501935noreply@blogger.com
