Luxurious life in social networks: who are all these people and are their lives really luxurious?
Psychologists say that in recent years people have begun to become more and more depressed. This is due to the photos on social networks. 80% of people, waking up in the morning, first of all open a friend tape, and they spend the lion’s share of their day there. Social networks have become so firmly rooted in our lives that all the luxurious life that appears in the tape depresses ordinary people. But what is really behind such happy photos of a rich life?
Who are all these people with a luxurious life
Summer is long behind, it’s a dull autumn outside, the dullness of the surrounding landscape is overwhelming, you don’t want to leave the house, but you have to … After all, it’s time to go to work. Drinking coffee in the kitchen, you open the Instagram feed and what do you see there – someone is on a sunny beach in Bali or Thailand, someone is eating oysters with wine in an expensive restaurant, someone is preparing for a trip to Germany. Few people at the sight of all this will think “what a beauty." Almost everyone will have a flash in their head “I want that too!”. And only a few thought about whether these people are really as happy as they show in their profile.
Dreamers
Almost half of the people in whose profile you find only beautiful photos of an expensive life, in fact, do not live like that. Their main principle is “not to be, but to seem”. The problem with these people is that over time, the line between illusion and real life begins to blur. They cease to exist in real life. For them, likes are much more important than what is happening in the world around them. You can meet such dreamers everywhere. Identification marks – while communicating with friends, they scroll through the friend feed all the time.
Rare, but apt
Many people do not want to share posts about their real life, about the problems present in it. They post photos only during the holidays. Because it is then that a beautiful picture on a snow-white beach can turn out. Going into the profile of such people, it may seem that their whole life is spent in travel and recreation. But if you look at the dates of the photo, it becomes clear that a person’s real life is not so fun that it can be shared with others.

Indeed, there is a small percentage of people who really live the way they show it on the networks. Warm, sunny climate, sea, travel, snow-white yachts, surfing – all this is true about them.
How to React to Luxurious Life Posts
When a person publishes a photo, this is his full right. He is responsible for all the emotions that his followers will experience. But what you will experience when you see this photo is already your area of responsibility.
If you get depressed at the sight of someone’s success or a beautiful life, you should think about what you can do to protect yourself from negative emotions.
If you open your feed, get upset, then reopen it and get upset again, consider turning off the internet on your phone and going out with your loved ones. Go less on Instagram, have more fun. And remember that not all that glitters is gold.
