It&#x27;s the main reason I refuse to take part in the whole &#x27;social&#x27; media circus. Many people have called me strange and anti-social and whatnot, but one look at my girlfriend&#x27;s timeline every now and I feel proven right again.<p>If I ever have children I&#x27;ll make sure to teach them from the moment they are old enough to understand that social media is just posturing, self-promotion and narcissism, and in no way representative of &#x27;real&#x27; people or &#x27;real&#x27; lives. I wouldn&#x27;t mind if they would use it, as long as it&#x27;s pretty damn clear that the image other people paint of themselves is not something to aspire for.
