Making people think you are winning at life, even when you definitely aren’t, is easy if you know how to do it.

I know, adulting is hard. And with the advent of constant social media, we are always being reminded that everyone else has their shit together. But who has time to go out and live life to the fullest, when you could be at home watching Netflix in your favourite food-stained slanket? Thankfully, due to the omnipresence of social media, we no longer have to bow down to Oprah’s gruelling demands that we ‘live our best life’. Nowadays you can just give the impression of living a fabulous life online, which is far less work than actually going out and doing it.

Relationships on social media

If you’re in a relationship – fantastic!! There is nothing like a significant other that you can parade around on social media, and write ‘cutesy’ messages on each other’s walls, so it will really hammer home to all your single friends how miserable and lonely they are, and that they will probably die alone and be eaten by their cats. Even when you are sitting in the same room, make sure you post a message to them online saying how much you love them and how hashtag blessed you are to have them in your life.

Probably the best part about having a long suffering partner, is that every time you go out, you have a personal photographer to take a countless nearly-identical selfies of you, and who knows all your best angles.

Of course, when they get sick of your narcissistic ways and dump you (not that you care, it’s his loss, ammiright?), that’s no reason for YOU to get down in the dumps!! Once you have finished posting a bunch of inspirational quotes about finding yourself, it’s time to go out with the girls on a #girlsnight. This will also involve lots of selfies being taken with all of you pretending to laugh, to ensure you look like you are having the maximum amount of fun. It doesn’t matter if you actually have any fun, as long as you get a pic for insta that everyone agrees on posting, then you can spend the next 90 minutes trying to think of a caption the conveys the insane good times being had #somuchfun before you all go home.

With Social media pretending of winning at life comes so much easier!
