[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had 2 close friends pass away and 1 I have not picture of us together, the other I have 1 because I posted it on FB.

Insta and FB help me see what my friends and family are doing... my family is very large and impossible to track... just found out my nephew moved from instagram post. I have over 25 nieces and nephews.

I enjoy seeing them and looking at them and so do my friends.

I'm not doing anything that amazing so no need to be jealous.

I also print a photo album yearly from it.

why does anybody take pictures? Why do cameras even exist?

The question asked wasn’t why do people take pictures.  The question asked was why does someone take a picture and post it (share it) with people who weren’t at the event.[/quote]

Same reason people take pictures in general, to remember. You don't have to look at pictures on my SM. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

No I don’t. I post them for people who want to see them. I want to see my friends photos.

It’s to connect with people who care about me and I care about them. I see what they are up to and I’m happy to see their sister visit or their son graduate or their mom’s Mother’s Day picture. Because I like to see my friend happy.

You have a demented friendship pattern that leads you to only share your life to brag so you assume others do the same.[/quote]
