My sisters fake persona on social media driving me crazy

I can't believe there are people in real life that ask this seriously. I mean I know they exist, but it's insecurity to an alarming level.

I once unfollowed a friend's Instagram account because she mostly posted photos of her clothes and shoes and I was trying not to spend money. It honestly did not even occur to me that this would be hurtful -- I didn't consider it an obligation to follow friends on social media, and certainly not to follow them indefinitely no matter what they posted. This was back before you could mute accounts. I am not kidding when I say: she never forgave me.

It sounds like she’s totally miserable and for whatever reason posting fake happiness to SM helps her feel a bit better. I understand why it bothers you but you can’t do anything about it besides set your own boundaries. Don’t like or comment but also don’t get involved or try to tell her what to do. Either get off SM yourself or mute/unfollow her and just ignore it.

Wow. How is an adult not embarrassed to whine "why don't you give me Likes on social media?"

Supportive of lying?

Yeah, definitely not. Helping her perpetuate delusions is not being "supportive."

OP, would you rather your poor sister post her real life on FB? Really?

Her life is a mess, and you sound jealous her social media image looks good. You need to get a life, or help your sister.

It's not "being supportive." it's called enabling. I'm not an enabler.

Failure to post all the horrible things about your life to your social media does not constitute lying. WTF.

It's not LIFEbook, it's Facebook. You "show face." As in, here are cute photos, here are my kids at their performance, here is our vacay trip, plus a few memes or MLM links. That's all it is. If you think Facebook is more than that, you need to get a real, non-digital life.

Totally agree. Who actually thinks social media is the “truth”? This is not a big deal.
