[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I alone?

I rarely post, but I do use social media for having an immersive experience around my hobbies - cooking, design, etc.

I post once in a while (probably about once every 30-60 days).

I enjoy seeing friends post once in a while too, but I find myself become very turned off by people who post very frequently, especially if the posts are essentially all selfies or braggy posts. What sucks is that sometimes these are people I like IRL and their social media behavior makes me want to avoid them.

I know the “solution” to this is just to unfollow people or snooze them or whatever, and I do.

But I also want to know a) why am I so repelled by this behavior when so many other people seem to eat it up and reinforce it? [/quote]

I get this. After 40 I started to notice certain friends posting every thing they did. It became this need for validation. I even had a friend send me a pic and say "I noticed you didn't like this on facebook maybe you missed it what do you think?". Adults who need constant validation are tiring-on the flip side I feel bad for them that they feel they need constant attention.[/quote]
