You're right - it's everywhere. Social media shows everyone's best moments, and we forget that behind every perfect post are probably ten boring or messy days.

The weird part is how alone it makes you feel. When you're struggling with something, it seems like everyone else has it figured out.

They don't show the failures, the times they wanted to quit, or the random luck that helped them succeed.Those success stories especially bug me.

They make it sound like if you just work hard and believe in yourself, everything will work out. But real life doesn't work that way.

Sometimes you do everything right and still fail. Sometimes you succeed for reasons that have nothing to do with your brilliant plan.I think we like these simple stories because the truth is scarier - that a lot of what happens to us is random, that progress is slow and hard to see, and that most people are just figuring it out as they go.
