5/2/2020 Perfection

It's pretty crazy how skewed the internet makes people's lives to be. Even though we are going through a crisis we put up a front like if nothing is wrong, some of us are worse about it than others. I can't imagine things are ever going to be the same. With shelter in place we are going to receded further into the internet even after the dangerous of Covid-19 are reduced. Now, what exactly will this mean? People putting up the image of perfection is going to intensify. 

People are going to continue to put up this image that everything is not just fine but perfect. I find it hard to believe in the middle of a crisis that most have nothing to report but good things in their lives. When did we decide to make it only ok to put up the good things and not the bad things. Are we so afraid that if we put the bad, people will judge us. Covid-19 sucks and it's hard to find the motivation to self improve. I try to but it's a struggle. Count the little victories, I guess, like putting another one of these up. 

I digeris. With the internet taking a more prominent place in our lives it's going to make us less genuine. Some of us are better at spotting the fakes or not put such an importance into the image. But for some of us... I already find it hard to nativigate this social world now, the future I see is just going to make things worse. 

I honestly believe no one on the internet is their true self. It's sad and it sucks. I like to think I practice a healthy amount of caution when I put my trust on people. Unfortunately it's not true, as soon as I have a personal connection with someone I become way to trusting. 

I'll get better in my train of thought....
