Feeling Inadequate in a Facebook World

According to Facebook, I’m apparently failing at everything. And guess what? You might be too. As I scroll through my feed, I’m bombarded with reminders of all the ways I’m messing up—everything from daily chores to life-altering decisions. It’s like Facebook has decided to be my personal critic, highlighting my insecurities with every post. “You’re doing it all wrong!” they scream. And honestly, I really didn’t need that extra push to feel inadequate; I’m already questioning my choices enough as it is.

The Cooking Catastrophes

It’s not just the cooking blunders, although I’m definitely cutting fruits and veggies wrong. Pineapples and watermelons? Yep, I’m eating them incorrectly. And those seemingly simple oranges and bananas? Apparently, I should be peeling them like a monkey, starting from the bottom instead of that tempting stem. Don’t even get me started on eggs; I’m scrambling them wrong and botching the boiling process too. Peeling eggs is a breeze, right? Well, not if you listen to the experts.

Cake Confusion

And who knew that cake could be a source of strife? Usually, cake is my go-to problem solver, but now I’m told I’m cutting it wrong. They suggest squishing the sides together after slicing the middle, but seriously? That just sounds messy, especially with frosting involved.

More Than Just Food

It’s not just food either; I’m failing at Southern cuisine and mispronouncing Sriracha. Plus, I’m “almost certainly” botching negotiations—something I already knew!

What I really wish is for these articles to take it easy on me. Instead of pointing out my errors, how about some gentle suggestions on how to improve? Or better yet, let’s make these tasks enjoyable.
