May I have your opinions/feedback?

I am a psychology major and I am doing an assignment that deals with social media. Specifically, with the image people project of themselves and other's impression of them and their lives compared to what they actually reported in real life in areas like happiness, life satisfaction, ect.Basically it deals with other's perceptions of someone based on social media and how much that may differ from the real picture.

I have volunteers who have allowed me to use them and their profiles for this assignment. I was wondering if you could take a look at the profile below and give me your ideas on this person. Like your impressions about her lifestyle, happiness and any other thoughts based on some statuses/some photos. I am not saying you have to look at every little thing but just whatever helps you form an opinion.

I know you cannot truly know a person by their profile and that's the point is to get people's impressions and thoughts compared to what was actually reported.

No one wants to project a negative impression of themselves. They are attempting to attract people to them(Social Networks wouldn't exit otherwise). The negativity displayed toward others on Social Media tends to stem from same reason. "Look at me! I am better."
