Replying to Thoughts on social media?

Does anyone else find social media to be really annoying sometimes? Like everyone is just trying to look better than everyone else on social media rather than just enjoying their lives? Why can't people just have fun with their friends rather than take photos of them 'having fun' with their friends for social media? And how often when you're with other people instead of talking with the people around them they message people and check notifications etc.? It's kinda like some people are controlled by their phones. Like they have to check everything immediately and comment and reply instantly no matter what they're doing at the time. Thoughts?
