Social media and the internet has made it incredibly easy to see the various people out there who are in the top of their league at any particular hobby, vocation or activity, and made it seem like that's the 'norm'.

Or, because they can curate exactly what you see on Facebook or Instagram, and they make it look like they are at the top of the league.

Keep in mind that Facebook itself also does a ton of curating. Posts that get a lot of likes and replies are much more likely to show up in your news feed.
