An Overlooked Sign That They’re Not Really Your Friend

Everything on Social Media is not as it appears.

Ever seen a picture of a big group of friends on Instagram and you think to yourself:

” Wow, how does this person have so many friends?”

You’re just looking at the headcount in the photo they post, but then something odd stands out. Studying every face, each one looks a little odd. One friend’s eyes are closed, another’s head is tilted off-center, and the rest just don’t look that good. It’s a picture that should have never been posted for other people to see. Except for one reason: the person who posted it looks great in the photo. Their hair is in place, their eyes are sparkling, and the outfit stands out. See what I mean?

It’s subtle, but a real friend who understands that your emotional wellness can be affected by a bad, publicized photo would not post a picture where they looked incredible and you don’t. Of the dozens of pictures a friend group takes throughout a day or night out, there are bound ti to be at least a few where each person looks equally good or at the very least, decent. Why did they, or rather, why would they post a picture where you look like crap and they look like a movie star? Chances are they aren’t your friend.

They value more about how others perceive them, rather than how their actions will cause you grief. And if that’s the case, don’t feel bad for cropping them out of the picture. What? They just didn’t match the rest of the group, that’s all.
