[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gross. I know women who did this with relationship but they were younger (late 20s/early 30s) and it was a decade ago. It comes off as extremely insecure to me, especially in someone older. You should not need other people to see your relationship in order to feel good about it.[/quote]
This is the same person - if they were doing it 10 years ago @ 30, why wouldn't they do it now, 10 years later @ 40? Some people are just like this. [/quote]

Some people outgrow it, though. I didn't do this with relationships, but when I was late 20s and early 30s, I definitely was kind of insecure and used social media to project a certain image and try and impress certain people or make them jealous. Vacation photos, pics with my friends out at some cool new restaurant, selfie when I was #feelingcute (yes, you an make fun of me). But I grew up, realized I was doing this stuff for validation and just feeding my own insecurity. I quit Facebook and made my instagram private and started posting way, way less.  I'm just more mature. It was a phase and I evolved beyond it. I know other women my age (early to mid 40s) who did the same.

If I met someone my current age who was still doing this aggressively, I would feel bad for them. It's not a very good way to try and make yourself feel better. The likes and views feel good at first but in the end it's empty.[/quote]
