I’m not talking about one’s profile image on his or her facebook account. What I’m talking about is the image that one projects in this phenomenally popular social network site.
What does your Facebook account tell about you and your life? Do you show the world how good your life is by posting your pictures taken from your Bahamas and Rio de Janiero trips? Or do you tell the world how busy and stressed you are as a law student (plus how much smarter you are than laymen)? Or do you show off to your single friends that your love life is better than theirs for having found already the perfect mate in your life? Whatever pictures, videos, and statuses that you post, everything boils down that you wanted to show the whole world, particularly those who know you personally, how great your life is or has become.
Facebook enables everyone to show off what he or she has got. It is sort of a widely-used tool for vanity and to some extreme cases, narcissism. Is that something bad? Well, I don’t think so. Whether or not other people will be jealous of the life that one has, the fact still stands that every one of us is entitled to feel good about ourselves anyway.
Thus, whether or not you are really that happy and whether or not your life is really that perfect shouldn’t be put to question by anyone. It simply comes down to whatever works for you to boost your esteem and feed your ego – some essentials subsumed in human nature. So just go on and continue projecting the best image you have construed for yourself and your life -- almost everyone does the same thing anyway.
