What you are describing is one of the main issues with the current state of our civilization.
Social networks are used by the masses to try to project an image of themselves that correspond to some kind of ideal they wish they could achieve.
Such a waste of time and energy when focus could be brought into one's life to attain more reasonable and fulllfilling goals.
Too many people try to live in the eyes of others.
I'm glad you found better meanings in life.
Thanks for sharing.
