| They're still hot and showing off. |

This is your answer, I don’t care what anyone else has said (haven’t read responses) they are lying. No reason they can’t share these photos among themselves. No one else needs to see them. |

That doesn’t stop people you know from wondering why you do it. Luckily I don’t have many people left who still do this most have stopped. People here are wondering why some are still doing it. You have your reasons and some of us still think it’s weird. |

What do you share on social media? |

| I don't share gatherings. But I share things about books I've read or funny or poignant things I've come across that my friends might find interesting. |

| Don’t overthink it. Photos are how we capture and share memories. If it upsets you then that’s more about you. |

Everyone takes photos. This isn’t about that. This is the modern version of subjecting your friends to a slideshow of your recent vacation that they didn’t ask to see or gloating about the happy hour with your besties that left out a friend or two for no apparent reason and making sure they see it. |

Same with posting every activity and achievement of kids. When they are elementary aged and younger, this is normal. By high school it should be big moments- not every single swim meet. Seriously - during this time of year, it’s possible to have a swim meet event four days of the week. Overkill to post swim meet photos of high schoolers multiple times a week.

You say that, but you absolutely want people to look at them. Otherwise you wouldn’t post them. Taking pictures is normal. Sharing them with other people who were on the trip is normal (we usually do a shared Google photos folder for this). Posting them on social media takes extra effort- it’s an extra step- and it’s SOLELY to share them with people who were not there and who didn’t ask to see them. Which lots of people do you’re not alone, but it’s an extra step that is solely for external validation , bragging, etc. Just own it. |

| A lot of people post fun activities on sm. Trips with the family, holiday events, having fun with friends. Social media posting is all about the highlights. It doesn’t seem at all weird to me that people who post include activities with friends. |

1. Menopausal sorority girls desperately yearn to be young and perceived to be hip. 2. They are old but mentally stuck in their 20s; arrested development. 3. They are quite literally drug addicted addicts for the dopamine rush social media “likes” and phony flattery comments generate. 4. They are uncouth and tacky and get off on boasting. |
