Are You Living an Insta Lie? Social Media Vs. Reality

If you're guilty of living an Insta Lie or know somebody that is, then this video is most certainly for you. We're partnering up with boohoo.com to call out some of the funniest and most common Insta Lie's posted on social media.
Insta Lie (verb): an intentionally false representation of real-life on social media. Examples include:
1.) Tagging an edited and made-up selfie with #IWokeUpLikeThis;
2.) Taking a million selfies before deciding on just one to post as #Effortless 😕;
3.) Going all the way to Starbucks, buying a coffee and opening up your Macbook - taking a photo of your #WorkSpace, closing your Macbook and then going back home;
4.) Using filters to edit your travel photos - making them literally look #Unreal.

My husband and I went out for breakfast and we noticed that everyone around us were on their phones. Father with his young son, mom & dad and teen son, young couple with their toddler who was on a tablet. I felt so sad for the kids. What a perfect opportunity for families to talk and connect. We didn't give our son a cell phone until he entered high school. We don't allow phones at meal times or when we're out at restaurants. It's just gotten so out of hand. It's no longer for convenience, it's an obsession, an addiction.

[@btryx9378]

How did you get your son to not be bitter about not giving him cell phones until high school and all the rules? If i ever have a kid I want to do the same thing, but Ive seen my relatives' kids be unbelievable spiteful against their parents because of this.

[@mochi8632]

Not letting your kid use the phone at the table is an error. You don't need to put rules, you need to make him appreciate the time spent connecting. I never had any rules about phones, and still every time I sit at the table with my family or friends I am the only one wanting to talk face to face, socialice and stop using the phones. What you are doing to your son is useless.

Facebook already uses the term 'friends', and we all know how most people don't even speak to the 'friends' that are connected to their account. For this reason, I think the word 'followers' captures the reality of what people are doing, when they connect to a person's social media account, quite accurately.

[@laurenhamill2100]

Be honest. Be real. If something you think of posting isn't genuine, then don't post it.

[@lamarwahb6519]

Lauren Vanessa Vegan Good point but what's your definition of genuine

[@CrazyZaaira]

honestly, when i spend time with my friends everyone is barely on their phone, and at least the people i know irl don't fake their life like that on social media, so maybe the people you know are like that or, maybe, just maybe me and my friends are a bunch of freaks

[@laurenhamill2100]

lamar wahb my definition of genuine is exactly what it's defined as. "What something is said to be." like, think of the girl in this video who posted the pic of her kissing her boyfriend. she posted it when she was angry at him and seeming to have second thoughts about loving him. she should have waited to post it until she felt sure (in my opinion). im all about being real. like, i post a lot of food pics on my instagram, and if a recipe turns out worse than i thought, i will either not post the pic or i will post it with my honest thoughts about how it could have been better. i actually did that with a post about vegan sushi. i shared my failed attempt then a few days later i shared my successful attempt. So being genuine it being honest by giving your real opinion and thoughts, or by not posting at all.

I met my friend for a short hike in the local forest preserve, we are old ladies in our 60s. I was excited for this three hour outing, to catch up, connect and talk. But... the moment we said good morning to each other, my friend pulled out her phone and started taking pictures of everything and anything, including ourselves. The connection did not happen, the conversation went shallow, I lost my friend being totally preoccupied with that photo session, that she later that day posted on FB.

[@MalissiaCreates]

I feel you. I can spend an hour with my sister and learn more about her day by checking out her FB including the amazing time we had at the bbq when actually it was dull and I couldn’t wait to get home. Sad because I’d love to connect but they have to want to as well.

I'm on the edge of quitting social media. The fakeness we portray and see from others on daily basis is driving us crazy. I do even catch myself doing it occasionally I'm not sure if it's really a gap within us that we're trying to fill or in my case it was kinda a rivarly type of thing.

[@enydnightshade]

I think because social media is like something we own. Like our personal space. Like there are no rules but our own. We can control it on the way we want it. When we want and where we want it. Anything that we cannot achieve instantly or express from a normal non social media relationship/life, we can put or say in social media. Social media is instant gratification that it can be addicting. And while being addicted, what's true and what is make believe can be mixed. That's when we can go to extremes bcos it's is gratifying. I want to explain my opinion more but i just have little hard time elaborating it. I dont use my FB anymore. Twitter is useless to me. I visit my instagram once in a while. You Tube is what i enjoy.
