Most people have friends and have fun moments but don’t feel the constant need to share it so grossly. It’s like middle school Instagram.

Truly caring and empathetic people don’t have to do this. It’s like people who always insist about how smart they are when in reality they are just about as smart as everyone else.

I agree. As someone who weathered a painful divorce without a “tribe” I found it off putting. Like she jumped fro
A codependent relationship with her husband. To one with her friends. That’s not funny or cute, it’s stunted.
