HA! Good on you for calling her out about it.

Yep, I think facebook and instagram are full of this kind of thing nowadays. It's even been given its own word... apparently this is called 'virtue signalling'.

So yeah when someone posts something for no other reason than to show others what a good/generous/kind/lovely/caring etc etc person they are.

For example when people post a message to someone who is clearly never going to read it...

Like so:

"I would just like to wish my grandma who died 3 years ago, a wonderful birthday. I miss you so much; the talks we had and the way we laughed. I think about you every day. From your ever-loving granddaughter, Miss Virtue. xxxxxxxx"

Erm.... I don't think she uses Facebook love! (Oh, but never mind, all your friends and family will see how wonderful you are).

Virtue signalling. Ha!

Also, I know a woman who now works as a 'comparison coach.'

In that she helps young people who are low in confidence because of all the comparing with others that happens on social media nowadays.

T'is a strange new world we live in....
