Is this proof social media is lying to us?

Only 1 out of every 5 people in the top 1% of income earners work outside the medical field and less than 1 in every 20 pre-med students get into medical school and I know elite medical students in the top 1.8% who were forced to switch majors after graduation because residency was so hard they struggled with suicidal thoughts. So your chances of getting rich without competition and hard work are probably 1 in 90,000.

As well, the average house in Toronto costs $1,000,000 and only 1 in every 120 people gets a net worth of one million or more before their 41st birth day. Meanwhile people tell you you’re a loser if you’re not married with your own home and your own kids by 32.

I used to have a stalker who would insult me 90 times a week for not having a university degree in my 20s while 2/3rds of Canadians do not have university degrees. And I got my 4 year university degree a few years after he mocked me for being “uneducated.”

Yes, I think you're right, social networks are constantly lying to people.

Social media often presents idealized versions of life, leading to distorted perceptions of success. It's crucial to differentiate between perception and reality. Many successes are built on hard work, perseverance, and adaptability rather than overnight achievements. Comparisons to others' highlight reels can breed frustration. Embrace your journey, focus on personal growth, and define success on your terms. Achievements like education and career advancement are valuable, but they take time. Celebrate your progress and stay resilient amidst societal pressures. Remember, fulfillment often comes from aligning your path with your values and aspirations.
