Narcissist facebook friend

I love my friend IRL, but can't stand her on facebook, sounds awful I know!!
She posts over 100 photos everyday from an amazing walk, perfect Sunday, day with DD and yesterday posted over 60 photos from their perfect valentines mostly just selfies.
I find it so fake and excessive, nothing is kept private especially her DD. IRL she has mental health issues, but never mentions that. So sad really, it just baffles me!

@Ponoka7

I agree that you aren't much of a friend, or critical thinker if it baffles you why someone who has poor mental health lives their life on social media. Is she a diagnosed Narcissist, or have you decided to label her that?

@AllTheColoursOfGerberas, because of my health I haven't been able to go on holiday since 2015 and I really enjoy those detailed shearing photos. I know quite a few people who also do.

Do you want his name then you can add him as a friend..... 🤣

IRL she has mental health issues, but never mentions that.

She's not obliged to, she can use her social media as she pleases. Maybe posting the more pleasant side of her life helps with the MH struggles?

I tend to unfollow friends who do this as well as those who have extreme political or religious views. Most I never knew they had and don’t go on about in real life.
