You are right about people’s fear of being perceived. I think the world has gone in a direction that makes it seem almost cringe for regular people to post without seemingly being hyper aware of it because it is not “perfect”.
It is indeed not normal for everyone to have only a photoshoot like pictures posted.
Instagram is indeed a good place to store memories, as someone that doesn’t have a baby picture, I could only get one which I took on an old smartphone, and it only still exists now because I once posted it on instagram. Instagram in years to come will serve as an archive and in some way serves as a reflection of who we were at that time.
