.NBCNewsTHINK: You're not a Kardashian, so stop lying about your life on social media.
I know these days many consider themselves to be “brands” — a thought that always makes me want to vomit in my mouth a little bit — and I accept that people want to present themselves a certain way with that select goal in mind. However, no lie can last forever.
Maybe you’re not the kind of person who wants to become an “influencer,” but just someone who wants to come across as having a much better life than you claim to have. Still, please consider the people in your lives: They have to wake up every morning and scroll through your lies hour after hour. It’s exhausting rolling our eyes that hard.
Stop lying about being a well-funded world traveler when you’re a flight attendant. Yes, you are traveling the world, but you’re also at work so you’re not better than anyone else. Stop acting like your relationship is better than it is; I have the group chats to prove otherwise. And, love, stop acting like you are in the 1 percent when you are a few checks away from scrambling to cover that one extra bill, like most of us scratching and surviving in Trump’s America.
All the lying does is perpetuate the seeming necessity of presenting an idealized image and faux-positive life for some people, and drive others to wanting to slip into the comforting arms of a Sade or Adele album while lamenting their lives. All because you can’t tell the truth about yours.
