Why are more and more people setting up WeChat Moments to be visible for three days?

01.

I have more than 4,000 friends on WeChat. Every time I check my circle of friends, I can see various updates. Sometimes, if I don’t look at them for a few hours, I can’t see them all again.

The circle of friends is really a good place. It allows us to show ourselves and at the same time get a glimpse of other people's lives.

There are people checking the screen here 24 hours a day, just like a city that is always brightly lit. Everyone was laughing, chatting, and happily commenting and praising.

They play songs every day and feast every day;

They are rich and willful, always changing their position and traveling around;

They are diligent and work hard every day The discussion is about the company going public and planning for Series A or Series B financing;

Their glasses are full, their smiles are sweet, and there are always many, many interesting things in their lives.

Compared with them, I always feel that my life lacks some passion, less motivation, not so much burning and dry blood, and not so much happiness and ecstasy.

I repeat the life of three o'clock and one line every day. I write words that I don't know who to talk to in front of the computer every day. When I feel lonely, I go to the terrace to drink some wine alone and enjoy the breeze. I want to go out and play. Just pack your bags, book a flight and travel around.

To be honest, I think my life is quite monotonous, not half as lively and joyful as theirs.

02.

A few nights ago, I couldn't sleep as usual, so I was holding my phone and browsing Weibo. A friend I hadn't contacted for a long time sent me a message saying that he was so envious of me.

I said, have you drunk too much? Do you want to get rid of your armor and return home to live a tolerant worldly life? I have nothing to envy. He said, I think you live a very real and free life.

I said, it is obvious that your life is better than mine, your company is successfully listed, your family is harmonious and happy, and you have a wide range of high-end friends.

To be honest, I have never heard of many of the places you have been to. I have always regarded you as my goal. I feel that if I live like you, I will have no desires or desires in life. .

He sent a wry smile and asked where did you know these things.

I said look at your circle of friends. Your circle of friends locates places all over the world. There are pictures of the interior of the Dubai Burj Al Arab hotel that costs 100,000 yuan a night. If it weren’t for your blessing, I would only see them in online pictures. Pass. Really, I envy your life.

He kept showing that he was typing, but no content was sent. In the end, he only said one sentence to me:

I thought you would understand this extremely tired life behind the seemingly infinite scenery. I thought that you were a writer, that you would be more meticulous than others, and that you would understand that you are full of ups and downs. of me.

"Forget it, it's nothing. You've worked hard too. Go to bed early." This was the last sentence of our conversation.

That day I looked at this sentence, scrolled through his dazzling circle of friends, and then looked back at my own, and suddenly I felt like I understood something. ,

03.

Go back to my own circle of friends.

I seem to be living happily every day, taking pictures of food, streets, night scenes, wine glasses, myself, and scenery.

In every photo, I smile sweetly and wear beautiful clothes. In the circle of friends, I am a fairy, free and easy, sunshine, youth, and the embodiment of infinite vitality.

However, in real life, I spend almost half of my time at home writing manuscripts, with constant procrastination and constant anxiety.

There are a lot of various snacks on the table, but in order to keep in shape, I don’t dare to eat a bite. It’s so hot that I can only dig into the iced watermelon regardless of the image, and hold my mobile phone blankly. Be the most loyal internet addicted girl.

The me in the circle of friends is the ideal state that I hope to achieve.

But in real life, I am like a passerby who ends up in embarrassment after the lights fade out, ordinary, simple, plain and real.

The so-called genius girl is actually so ordinary and disappointing.

04.

I like drinking, I like the dizzy and hazy feeling that alcohol brings me, and I like the pleasure of drinking all my unspeakable worries, so I can always see all kinds of people's hearts on the wine table. The helpless and lonely force behind it.

The friend across the table was drinking and complaining that life has been too stressful recently. His girlfriend is almost thirty, and her family is urging her to get married, but she hasn’t been able to buy a house yet, and her mother-in-law doesn’t want her family to get married. His daughter suffered with him and threatened him that if he couldn't pay the down payment by the end of the year, he would start a relationship elsewhere.

A big project at work had just collapsed, causing the company to lose a lot of money. The leader pointed his finger at his nose in front of more than 20 people and scolded him severely, leaving the following sentence: "If you can't do it, get out of here."

When he said this, his eyes were red, and then he picked up the wine glass and took a big sip of wine.

As I listened to what he said, I looked through his Moments that day. All I saw was a happy photo of him and his girlfriend that day. The caption on it was "You are responsible for being as beautiful as a flower. I will work hard." My son can make money to support the family."

The lights were flashing and the speakers were very loud. It was obvious that none of us continued talking, but for some reason, I felt like I could vaguely hear his inner cry.

I looked at his flushed face illuminated by the stage light, and compared it with his happy and romantic circle of friends, and suddenly I thought, why is life so difficult?

“Always happy in front of others, always lonely behind others.” This seems to be the biggest feeling that life has brought to me as an adult.

Later on, you simply stopped posting anything and simply closed your circle of friends and set it to be visible for three days.

We are always so concerned about other people’s feelings that we don’t even dare to close our circle of friends completely, for fear of being misunderstood as someone we have blocked by deleting it alone, or for fear that the awkward horizontal line will become insurmountable in interpersonal communication. of the gap.

The circle of friends is only visible for three days. Think about it, how disillusioned it is.
