(fanfic in Harry’s POV)
I don’t know about you, but the people I’ve been “friends” with never post a picture with me when I look good, but the minute I look bad in a picture, they post it.
We would take 100s of picture and they would choose only the pictures in which I look the worse and post it, no, they will never choose a picture in which both of us look good. If I post a picture in which they look bad, they would constantly harass me to delete it.
If I ask them to delete a picture in which I look bad though, they give me shit. My friend of 10 years blocked me when I asked her to delete a picture in which I look bad. Considering the fact that it was my face, she should have listened but she kept saying how “it is her Instagram” and shouted at me and blocked me.
It took me a long time to make peace with the fact that the “friend” who kept giving me shit for 10 years and I still stayed but when I asked to delete an Instagram post I was blocked.
I’ve had “friends” in the past who would hang out with me because I have a good phone and they wanted good pictures. I’ve had “friends” who would post pictures with me and write fake captions. I’ve had “friends” who would meet me just to take pictures and post on Instagram.
I don’t know what’s the big deal about Instagram pictures, likes, following and comments. I don’t know why people make a big deal about it. If you’re a content creator or celebrity I do get it ’cause you’re making a living out of it. But others? They give it more importance than a friend.
I don’t know what this world has become.
