7 Times Social Media Made You Hate Your Life

Let’s face it, we’re all addicted to social media. Whether you spend hours of your day on Facebook, Snapchat or Instagram, we all have an obsession with this online form of communication somehow. Sometimes, the online world can affect how we interact with people in the real world and create real life habits that may not be so great. Social media is advertised as a utopia, but is it really that great? Here are some instances where these beloved platforms have made us rethink just how great social media actually is for us.

1. When your friend posts a picture of you that you hate, but they love.

"What a fake friend...I would probably do the same, though." Networked Individualism at it's finest.

2. When your family member sees that embarrassing picture you're tagged in on Facebook from last weekend.

Facebook is a scary, scary place for family, friends and employers to meet. You can't be too free to post what you like.

3. When you come across Insta-perfectionism from celebrities or famous bloggers and feel Insta-sad.

"Goals"

4. When the amount of likes that your post receives just doesn't do it for your self-esteem.

Looks like I need to delete that one. :(

5. When the addiction to Youtube is too strong and you forgot how to fall asleep before 3 am.

"One more video..." Algorithms are addicting!!!!

6. When videos about how bad the world is are all that take up your newsfeed and all you want to do is cry.

"I'm scared and sad." Fake news is believable when your friends repost it on Facebook.

7. And finally, when you lose your 237 day snap streak on Snapchat and question the point of life after.
