> If you're enjoying your experience so much, why the hell are you trying so hard to create content for social media? Just sit back and relax.

One example that I found interesting in India is that people want to travel to religious places out of a sense of duty for their peers. I think to some extent social media works the same. You feel the need to share your life with your peer group because they do for you.

Interesting perspective. I don't share much on social media because I know I have privilege that friends and family don't have and I am concerned that sharing too much would make them feel bad. I don't want them to compare their lives to my highlight reel. Our lives set examples for the people around us, so I try to set the right example.
