Facebook is a huge offender here, because people tend to post about themselves when they’re doing well, rather than when they’re needing support.
My suspicion is that people are more likely to be specific in positive than negative comments. “Vaguebooking,” even if you know it represents serious pain, doesn’t give you as vivid an image as someone celebrating a new job.
