Why does my family base my actual life through social media?

[Anonymous]

They thought something was wrong with myself and my partner like we were weren’t working out I find it really cheeky

It is understandable for your family to have certain perceptions about your life based on what they see on your online social media accounts. This is because people often post about significant events, achievements, and milestones in their life on their social media profiles, which can shape others' perception of them.


It is important to remember that social media often shows only a selective and curated version of people's lives, and does not necessarily reflect their entire reality. It may be helpful to have a conversation with your family and provide them with context about what is happening in your life beyond what they see on social media. This can help them to understand you better and have a more accurate view of your reality.

Just out of the blue she knew fine I don’t talk about relationships or my partner. I’ve been with him for a year surely she knows by now I’m not the one that talks about him since I never brought him up.

Probably because you post on social media and don't talk to them
