[QUOTE="JC RoseWoods, post: 761797, member: 28727"] I felt compelled to say something about the FB posts. There is alarming evidence that social media sites like FB significantly contribute to worsening behavioral health. The short version is you shouldn’t believe all of those happy photos you see. More and more evidence is coming forward that an increasing number of people put up an image that’s carefully constructed. The underlying problem is that you only get to see what is allowed to be shown, and most anybody can make themselves look good with photo selection and posting family bliss that isn’t really going on in the real world. Sadly, this further contributes to your (our) suffering as it can further worsen how we feel in an already overwhelming situation. The data on the damage of social media our youth is terrifying too, but since those platforms have so much political clout ($$$$), not much will be done about it. [/QUOTE]
