EN (via google translate) - Have you ever have the feeling that everyone is doing better than you? Probably you know the feeling, that notion nowadays so extrapolated by social media where people tend to show a version of their lives that, in most of the cases, do not correspond to the true.

With some of them I talk often, with others, not so much, however, I've always followed their lives and achievements through social media. So, in my mind, all that people are doing well, actually, better than me, and in my mind, that were a fact. Well, no!
Last week a friend of mine contacted me asking for someone with some knowledge of AutoCAD for a job. I have a long contact list and I know a lot of people, some of them interior designers and architects who had the profile for the job. So I contacted some of them and the true has revealed.
One of this friend of mine, my colleague in the university who applyed for a master in interior design after finished the first cycle in industrial design, told me that, actually, at the moment he were unemployed after three years working in a call center. Worst, he had to give up of his Master degree. Added that, since then, he do not talk with any of our colleagues because he was too ashamed of his current situation.
But he was not the only one, the idyllic picture of everyone's perfect life quikly vanished. I've found that most of my old colleagues are in similar situations, unemployed or working in different fields and, most of them, feeling frustrated about the path their lives had followed. The reality that their social media profiles do not reflect.
