I shared my health journey on social media in the hopes of finding others like myself, and to give hope to anyone suffering from this condition with no great options forward. After a short while, she wasn’t around as much and I eventually realized she had unfollowed me on social media. When I asked her about it, she told me “I prefer the IRL you to social media you,” and called me phony. I ended my friendship with her because I realized that she never unfollowed other accounts that bothered her, but her best friend? And if she’s not a social media person and prefers the real you, she will handle that by seeking out more in-person time.
