"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nIf my Facebook feed is any indication, my friends\u2014and frenemies\u2014are living way more fabulous lives than I am. One is around Rome, another is newly engaged and excitedly moving cross-country with her fianc\u00E9, and yet another apparently hung out with galavanting Oprah last night, according to her new profile pic. It's enough to make a gal feel kinda ho-hum. But according to a new survey, all of this amazingness might be just a tad overstated\u2014apparently one in four women lie (or at least stretch the truth) about how amazing their lives are on social media. And, honestly, I am totally, totally one of these women, if lying-by-omission counts. Sure I may have Instagramed the \"just because\" flowers my fianc\u00E9 brought home one night, but I certainly didn't status update about the fight we had the night before that prompted the purchase of said flowers. Though, maybe I should have. I wonder what would happen if, instead of just posting all the incredible, cool, chic, things we're doing, we told our social networks the truth: Like, don't just post a flared-lens pic of the amazing house you just bought, but also share the fact that you've been eating ramen noodles to afford the payments and that your first Pinterest-inspired home DIY project ended in both disaster and tears. Would for sure make Facebook more interesting\u2014and make me feel less lame about my boring-by-comparison life. Want more from Natasha?
