Dunning–Kruger, FOMO and Social Media walk into a bar...

You are posting... 

...about inclusion and acceptance, but you exclude anyone who doesn't share your interests...
...about being body positive, but only when you're going to the gym and your body is getting into the beauty standard...
...about being sensitive, sweet and opened to love everyone, no matter who they are and how they look like, but in real life, you're a rude asshole who only talks to people like you, who's all the time on your phone and turns your face when people say hi...
...about how much you love your boyfriend, how he's the love of your life, but you keep sending naked pictures and asking people to be discreet about it...
...about your relationship, even though you never did this before with any other boyfriend, just because this one is hot and worth showing...
...about how much you wish people were honest and told you the truth, but the faint sign of truth turns you into a defensive and argumentative beast who thinks the world is out to get you...
...about how much you want a teddy bear and/or a daddy, but not so long ago you were looking at overweight and/or older guys in disgust when you went out...
...about your mental health issues, and how you wish people were nicer to you, but you do not hesitate to use your mental health as a free pass to be a complete asshole to someone else...
...about being available when someone says they're looking for a guy, but you reject everyone who's around you in real life and shows any genuinely interest in you...
...pictures that will make people drool, but you complain about them being naughty on your feed...
...about how you're a big nerd and you like nerd culture, but back in school you bullied all your friends who were into anything that was not popular...
...about how much you're into certain movies and TV shows, but you never read any of the books or comics that originated it...
...pictures showing how cute and hot and sexy you are, and even though everybody is into you, your inside is empty and ugly based on how you treat other people...
...criticism to others, calling them stupid and other things, but you cannot even spell correctly in your own native language...

And finally, you are posting about how you have the best life ever, but you are just doing what everybody else is doing, watching the shows everybody else is watching, travelling to the places everybody else is travelling, being what everybody else is being...

But none of that matters, because you think you're right, people around you will encourage and applaud you, and you and your life will always stay the same. And you will be happy, because you want to fit in, you want to share it and you don't like change. But most important, you don't know enough to even understand that something is wrong.
