Hey there@Boxmore
I 100% agree with you, such an important topic that is not talked about enough. So thank you for bringing this up and raising a good point!
Social media can be very misleading and fake in a way because of that reason, people post only what they want to show and 9 times out of 10 it will be a highlight moment which fair enough I do that too but in reality that photo or video might be someone who is going through something and obviously you can't see it.
I feel like happiness doesn't need "tips" or advice because it's entirely subjective to the individual and what brings them happiness and that goes the same with feeling sadness, it doesn't need "tips" or advice on how to not be sad, we are human and a healthy human goes through all the emotions in the lifetime.
This is why it's good to take breaks from social media which I am guilty of not doing 😅
But I love this because yesterday I was having a mental breakdown and I kept thinking to myself what is wrong with me! I was fine this whole time 😢😅
Also there is this really great book I read a while back on self development called 'The Subtle Art of not Giving a Damn' by Mark Manson that teaches you not give a damn and I remember in one page the author was saying how when we feel for example angry we are conditioned to think that feeling is bad and therefore we get caught into this loop of getting more angrier because we are angry if that makes sense and that can be with most unpleasant but healthy emotions such as anxiety, stress, sadness, anger.
So anytime you guys are feeling those unpleasant feelings remember do not get caught into this endless loop and just sit with the feelings until they pass (which they do).
Sorry for the long pep talk but such a good topic!
Take care and stay safe everyone! 💜🥰
