Popular comedian and filmmaker AY Makun has warned people from comparing their lives to what they see on social media, stressing that most of what they see is often borrowed or fake.
In an Instagram post, AY addressed how social media often creates unrealistic standards that leave many people feeling as though they haven’t achieved anything good.
Something that is weighing a lot of people down is social media pressure. You scroll through social media, and then it looks like everyone has their life figured out: exotic trips over the weekend, designer clothes, brand new cars. Then you ask yourself, ‘God, when?’ But the reality is that many of the people you envy have borrowed wigs, outfits, and lifestyles.
He went on to reveal that many of the luxurious lifestyles flaunted online are far from reality, and aren’t standards people should subject themselves to.
