Living in this digital age, I am also reminded of a truism I run across, from time to time... namely that we tend to spend a lot of time on social media, which really skews our impression of reality. Think about what people share, from their lives... so we essentially end up comparing our own FULL lives to other people's "highlight reels," and come up short, by comparison... and unable to be content.

That makes sense. This is also true of the influence of watching television (commercials, sitcoms, movies, etc.). Repeating themes in this medium, particularly in the area of romantic relationships (IMO), create a sense of "normal" that is anything but in reality, setting the grounds for all kinds of unrealistic expectations.
