Invisible directing

Social networks are not a mirror of life, but a window. There are almost no quarrels, insults, tears. No one uploads a photo after a tedious day when the partners do not talk to each other. We see edited reality - beautiful, but not real.

And the image of an ideal relationship is formed in the head, where there is no routine, misunderstandings and pauses. The distortion begins unnoticed, but gradually we begin to demand the impossible - from ourselves and from the partner.

Jealousy for someone else's happiness

Paradox: Like photos of others, we begin to feel envy or uncertainty. It seems that others love “more correctly”, stronger, more beautiful. Comparison becomes a habit, and even good relationships begin to seem not bright enough.

Sometimes this develops into pressure: “Why don't you give me such flowers?”, “Why don't we go anywhere?” - Although in fact everything can be in order. It’s just that we are not instagram, but life.

When expectations interfere with feelings

The problem is not in the social networks themselves, but in the fact that we transfer the picture to reality. We begin to wait for movie confessions, endless romantic gestures and ideal behavior. And when we encounter fatigue, silence or just ordinary everyday life, we are disappointed.

But love is not a setting. There is a place in it for boring evenings, and for omissions, and for simple "How did the day go?" This does not make it worse - on the contrary, this is the present.

How to keep your common look?

It is important to remind yourself: what we see is not the whole truth. It is better to look at your relationship more often, and not at other people's tapes. And remember that real proximity is not always beautiful in the photo, but it gives warmth, confidence and support. Real love is not a filter or like. This is when you are hugged, even if you have not got enough sleep, you are angry or look not one hundred points.

Social networks can inspire, but they can confuse. To keep love, you need to turn off the screen more often and enable attention to the real person nearby. Because no beautiful picture will replace real tenderness, acceptance and sincere "I am with you."
