RE: DTUBE - Here's How I Leave The House Confident - It A Daily Fight!!

Thank you for being real. It's frustrating when people go along with the illusion that they have a perfect life. That just makes reality for some people much more difficult. One of the real downsides to social media, is that we tend to only see the highlight reels. This can cause serious lack of confidence and depression in people who don't have a clear understanding that this is what's going on. They wonder why they have problems and lack of excitement in their lives. Most people don't want to share their problems on social media. They want to show the good things that are going on in their lives. They want to show the things that make them feel better about themselves. This gives a false sense of reality to many people, especially teenagers and younger kids. Just imagine the teenager who's dealing with depression, struggling with puberty, school, friends, family, and a slew of other real life struggles. They open up their social media and wow 10 people that they know out of 300 just posted really awesome exciting things that are happening in their lives. It suddenly feels like everyone must be having fun, happy, exciting things happening in their life all the time because they see it posted day after day even though it may be posted by different people day after day, it still gives the impression to the mind that our lives are mundane and depressing compared to those we follow on social media. Keep the great videos coming!

Thanks mate, I'm glad you like them.
On social media, I've never bought into the concept that everything is great....every day! It's just not real life!
