Why do I get angry when I look at other people's facebook photos with all their beautiful families out doing activities on beautiful sunny days with smiles and laughter and joy? I hate that I feel so jaded. Are some people really this happy? Do some people experience so much pure joy in life? I know there can be a lot going on behind the bright smiles of the photo, but I hate that it angers me that other people are out there having fun in life and not going through any type of mental illness. I hate that I feel this way. Can anyone relate?

Pictures can be decieving. Sometimes someone who looks happy, may not be as happy as they look. I am good at hiding behind a smile. I have a lot of pictures on my facebook of me smiling and looking like a very happy person.

FaceBook is a networking tool. It hasn't anything to do with reality--yours or anyone else's.

But there ARE some people out there with happy lives.
Pisses me off that I'm not one of them.

I totally relate and feel the same about photo Christmas cards. I need to dig deep to find love for ALL in my heart and soul.

I hate the photos and posts that show other people living the life that I thought I would have by now.
People with a loving spouse. People with more than one child. Happy families. A nice house. Kids accomplishing things in their lives. It doesn't have to be huge things, either. Just working toward a goal. I would be happy if my kid was actually working toward a goal instead of having dropped out of collage and wasting precious years of his life.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
