Is it true that people who post happy family photos on Facebook aren't as happy as they appear?

[Matthew Halloran]

I don't know if that is fair to say.

The reality is that many people post their entire lives on facebook. I have one that I got just for uploading pictures of my child for my family to see, as well as pictures from my adult baseball league, vacations, etc. My little family probably looks happy in some pictures but we are generally happy.

To answer your question, inconclusive and there is no way of knowing.

I don't use Face palm, I mean facebook. Whenever a relative post my picture, I threaten to sue them.

The Conservatives are really happy and the Liberals are miserable and they are unhappy.
Fact, not fiction, something inside a Liberal keeps them from being happy, I suppose their subconscious mind knows they are idiots.

I believe that it is entirely possible that people may or may not be as happy or as sad as they appear to be on film as well as in real life.
