Fortunately I don't see much of that because I'm not on social media but it happens in the real world also I guess too, so I certainly see it. It's often easy to see through and the reasons why they do it...well, usually quite obvious also.
There's a strong difference between telling a story and shameless self-promotion and why do people lap it up? I don't know, maybe because that's what they aspire to also, that's what's important in their own lives?
Are people that naïve, or are my wife and I just that cynical?
The first part, probably not the second part.
Thanks, I appreciate your vote of confidence!
