Social media has likely exacerbated their issues
Social media can be a slippery slope for us all but it’s especially dangerous for people with self-esteem and identity issues. People only show the aspects of their lives that they want others to see, which can cause boastful folks to spiral as they often compare themselves to others in an attempt to measure their success and make themselves feel better. This is fine when they feel that they’re doing better than everyone else, but in life, there is always someone who has bigger and better. As a result, braggarts often lose touch with their own reality as they seek to portray the picture-perfect life on their social channels and attempt to keep up with the Joneses.
