I Will Cheer for You

When you look at your Instagram feed, do you know the first ten people personally? When you click a link for a pair of shoes, is it for a pair that a friend had and recommended? I will be the FIRST to admit that I sometimes talk to others about my “friends” when really they are just internet personalities that I do not know one personal detail about in real life. Then I see a friend share an opinion about some shampoo they love and I mindlessly scroll on past. Why are we like this?
