Truth be told no one owes anyone any explanation. Nairaland is a faceless forum and everyone can act like someone else. No one owes the other a true story about their life.

Open your mind boo... We are discussing social media as a whole. have over 900 Friends and only 3 are NAIRALAND members. Naira wetin

You have said it all. Meanwhile I also follow a lady who updates on her weight loss and every food she eats. If u see the way she decorates the food. I was admiring her before, then I began to see the bigger picture and I feel that something is totally off. The worst part is she doesn't look different. Still as big as when she started bombarding ig and fb about her weight loss over 2 months ago .

You're wikid grin grin , the fact that people follow her "journey" and comment on her page gives her sense of acceptance. Crazy world out there grin

A short, fat and ugly black girl with no job claiming ownership of a car...

FAINTS!!

naijababe:
Because social media is a popularity contest grin

I call it Crowd Control

The ones that fascinate me are in dairy section, these people update their living in writing. That's quite a therapy. grin

Did that sometime ago , then thought to myself, what am I trying to proof and to who? My family aren't on NL?

We are all caught in the rain. It's an Epidemic and For all its worth It's working.

Sorry to butt in but if you do not like her updates, why don't you unfollow her or if you like her ask 'what is going on as the weight loss program seems not to be effective'

I am assuming you follow people who have similar values as you do.

What attracted you to her in the first place

Rogerdat grin you can say it's cheap and pressure to fit in. I think it's therapeutic in some sense.

I just finished reading a book. About social media and its impact on people's revelance and self worth. People crave that validation even if it's just momentary and from strangers.

Look at twitters, Instergram , Facebook etc I follow someone that literally update her weight loss everyday. That's a lot of pressure.

I think its just an avenue to release all the pressure society puts on them to be somebody, its the best place to impress or intimidate people (those who allow them selves to be intimidated) inorder to feel superior but the funny part is that, its easy to see through them, I see them as clowns.

but don't you think it a bit high school like to give yourself a headache over what someone else portrays online? The person doesn't pay your bills and you don't pay their bills, so why make their live or rather fake live your responsibility?

Because it is an anonymous site!

This is their chance to be whatever they want to be, do whatever they want to do, live the kind of life they wish they had.

Hence u have a health assistant claiming to be a doctor

A single frustrated lady claiming to be happily married

Another single frustrated lady claiming to be independent and not in need of a man

A kid claiming to be an adult

A lonely bookworm claiming to be a ladies man

A suffering married woman pretending she married the love of her life!

A truck pusher claiming to be a millionaire!

This is thier dreamworld, let them enjoy it as much as they can grin

Only a sadist will tell people not to be happy when it is the only chance that those folks have to be happy as seen on tv.

This is the time to live your dreams, people with weak and lousy character are making money singing lose songs, them no go

fight them for putting their story across. Na only nairalanders sin pass?

No don't make me a case study o,

I am answering from the mood or perspective of the person I quoted as though the people who put their life stories online were fake and its only on the internet that they were actually living the kind of life they want to live.

As for me, why should I doubt or question your life-story? I am expecting you to be living a wonderful life cause to me, life is beautiful. Well I wonder why people would be offended in my life story when its me that live my story.

I will not bore you with challenges on the way, it is my challenges for God sake. I learn that long time ago at a price, when I always tell people sharp stories. Let your world inspire the world in your own kind of way if you find the platform.

And I love reading Donald Trump grin He tell his stories no matter whose ox is gored. He write differently from John Mason or Brian Tracy. I want a reflection of true life in whatever I post. I have learn to be happy always a long time ago. Pain Kills.
