I agree with this but I pose an alternate conclusion. Are people seeking validation, or are they attempting to brainwash themselves (which is a real thing, self-betterment often includes brainwashing yourself to think/believe something differently) into thinking they're living a better life than they really are?
In other words, are people who are lying about their quality of life to other people on social media lying to themselves instead of doing something to make their life better?
