Bros why do people pretend?

[Morethan1]

I'm being totally honest. I'm not talking about these new Gen Z people but people my age, my peer group ages 35-40.

I keep seeing people lie about who and what they are.

Everyone is fake and phoney and folks are to old to be this way.

Toyota is making billions of dollars a year. I know I have one. But everyone screams they need the Benz, Tesla, or BMW.

Why when you have financial troubles.

I don't get it

Sorry for the rant

Low self esteem combined with an inability to grasp reality as it stands as they regret the opportunities that slipped through their fingers as will the new ones they don't even notice as they're too busy fronting.

People want to be anyone but themselves and its quite sad when you think about it. Net turns this up to a hundred, thousand trillion.

Look at a persons childhood

The likes for IG…social gratification is higher than ever

Begins and ends with social media

 

[F*ckthemkids]

Some people would rather be admired for something they're not, then to be loved for who they are.

as a gen z breh im frustrated by the same thing. dudes telling lies to fit into a character and still get rewarded smh. people can’t read an act when they see it.

all you gotta do is these days is throw on some designer and everyone is on wood. but they don’t feed their children.

I have always dressed nice. Sometimes I do buy nice things but I do sometimes buy my Jeans or shirts from J.C Penny's.

I'm honest with myself and not ashamed that I live a decent regular life. My 401k is crazy right now (not bragging) I could go dip in it and get a super nice car but what will be the purpose? It's not fulfilling anything.

Alot of extremely grown people got life fukked up.

Americans worship the rich. How many arguments about any topic devolve into "you broke and dusty"? In our society, having more money makes you more "correct" or gives you a weighted relevancy. It's stupid.

 

[boogers]

people wanna floss and be respected by their peers and feared by their enemies. mix all that up with how humans aint shyt and there ya go

social media definitely upped the clout factor... i blame smartphones. once iphones, androids, and blackberries could access fb/twitter/insta it was over...

You sound like a pocket watcher and a hater

People are too concerned about what the next person has which means their priorities are all over the place. I have a luxury car and a shyt ton of shoes and clothes but it’s within my means because I work two jobs and I have a super low mortgage compared to others where I live.

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

"Keeping up with the Joneses" mentality is on steroids since social media.
