I don't know why people say that all the time like its a bad thing. (I don't mean you, fwiw!)
Nobody wants to read trashy people bitching about their lives on social media. Look how often people here complain about the women whining about men on Facebook. We want to see the good stuff, so I don't know why it is criticized in conversations like this one.
People have been taking posed, smiling photos long before social media ever came around. Its not like they were sticking photos of their hardships into photo albums.
Honestly, if someone struggles seeing something as innocent as happy, smiling photos of other people's lives.. they should probably seek some help working through that. It doesn't mean they are a bad person. It just means they need to get healthier mentally.

I see what you are saying, but sometimes people do struggle with it as they are getting older and having young kids or a family or not having funds to do the things they see everyone doing.
Or just seeing facebook, instagram whatever and it reminds of the good old days while you're sitting home doing nothing. It doesn't mean you are not happy. It's a well I wish I could still do this, I wish I could still do that, etc.
And yes, sometimes that does mean people need to get healthier mentally, but is that really a fair statement to just throw out. So much more really does go in to this than just your statement. And I am by no means saying don't post the happy good times, etc. That is what people want to see, but you have to look at it and understand the other side if that makes sense.
