"You're such a poser."

I was never the one to have loads of friends. My group was small, and to everyone else I was just a nobody. Getting likes on social media was always a big deal to me, but I'd only ever get the occasional few on a new Facebook picture. 

One day I posted a new photo and was surprised to see it hit 40 likes, which made me feel super good about myself. 

Then one day a new friend added me on Facebook, and after seeing the picture said, "You're such a poser. The photo looks nothing like you." My heart sank inside. In an instant, my self esteem shot down. 

I know that social media shouldn't mean so much, but it does. The internet is such a big part of our lives now.
