I quit social media for 65 days…

“David went on the trip and enjoyed himself, posting several pictures on Instagram.

But he noticed that the friend who’d dropped out hadn’t liked any of the photos he posted.

“I remember we got in an argument, and I was like, ‘You know, you didn’t like any of my pictures on Instagram!’” he laughs. “A year ago we brought it up again, and he was like, ‘Yeah. I did see your pictures, and I didn’t want to like them because I didn’t go on that trip.’”””

 

This article did challenge my opinions.  And the way that this reading did this was by adding in the quote above when David planned a trip with his friends and one decides not to go.  Well after the trip David posts some pictures to Instagram and his friend that canceled did not like his pictures.  This bothers me because if there was no Instagram and Davids friend ran into him after the trip I would expect him to ask how the trip was, what they did, show him pictures, and I’m sure they would have gotten along and his friend would have said something along the lines of oh man I wish I would have gone yall looked like you had so much fun. What challenged my opinions though was why does social media have to be so negative and get others down.  Why can everyone is kind to each other instead of being so judgemental on what they post to their pages.  It will never make sense to me.
