Of course, social media is not to blame for all anxiety, but it sure exacerbates the pain of those of us prone to it.
I got furious with someone's post on Facebook, and inactivated my account. I thought it would be difficult to get through a week (my goal) but it's been three or almost four, now, I think. And my Facebook account had been modified at that point so it was *almost* down to "pics of grandbabies and cat videos."

When I see over-the-top gooey-ness from someone to his/her spouse, cynical me always wonders how bad the argument was that prompted the oh-so-public attempt at portraying perfection. Of course, I don't post those thoughts online. I engage in image-crafting too, even if it's just editing cynical thoughts.
