I know there's a tendency to be "overly positive" in social media, and I'm not saying one should go to the opposite end instead and be as negative as possible, but some people are really calling 2020 a "great year" and it bothers me to no end.
"I learned a lot about myself, I have had new amazing experiences by spending more time at home, I was reminded of what's important" etc, etc. I mean, good for them! But honestly... Calling it a great year? The world is in the middle of a pandemic, people are literally dying and those in disadvantage situations are barely surviving. Calling this year great, even if it was indeed great for you, is insensitive and straight selfish in my eyes, especially if you're a so called "influencer". It's not only about your life: you know people are going to read you because you sale an image and so, an idea of how it's supposed to be. Many of your followers look up to you, and to be this unrealistically positive and create such false expectations is very dangerous, especially during these trying times.
It's okay if you're having a hard time, it's okay if you're suffering and want others to understand better. It's NOT your fault to not be as happy as your favorite youtuber when there's so much loss and pain everywhere. I just wish everyone would know that. It does absolutely no good to ignore our emotional state and what's causing it by pretending things are alright just because others are not doing as bad.
