This is an odd question. I don't understand your logic. Anyway, social media has become the very best thing known to narcissists. Thus, I thought it was common knowledge that the opposite is true. That many people were either already insecure, or have become insecure because of social media. Obviously this isn't the case for everyone, but it seems like a natural response to what social media venues such as Instagram have become.
No they most likely have actually more confidence because they probably haven’t better social skills and there are been studies so show that social media has become very addictive and that actually releases some sort of chemical in your brain that make you feel loved when people message you and unloved when they don’t
I think it's the total opposite. People with social media post to have praise and likes heaped on them. They need validation because there's something missing in their life. People who don't have social media are content and happy and don't need the validation of strangers. Plus, anyone with a flawless social media page is lying anyway ❤️
I'd be more likely to think that people who are constantly on social media, posting selfies every 5mins and statuses, photos etc etc about how wonderful their lives are have lower self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you don't need to constantly show people a highlights reel of your life for them to 'like' and comment on.
No actually, I'd say they are probably the most secure people around. Not requiring to display their lives and looks for the validation of their peers and just doing what they like. I mean look at facebook, instagram and the like. full of selfies and people desperate for likes.
I don’t think they are insecure. Personally I don’t have any social media and it’s simply because I have no interest in broadcasting my life to everyone I know.

It would be idiotic to say ALL people who doesn't have social media are insecure. No my grandparents don't know how to use computer, they are not insecure. Some people are on social media because they are insecure, they need likes and a lot of "friends" and show off nice pictures to boost their ego because they feel unworthy if they didn't. Many people are on social media because they feel they miss out if they are not, that is form of insecurity.
No, I wouldn't consider them being insecure I have friends who don't have any social platforms but are confident and super smart When asking them, they'd tell me it's unnecessary and a waste of time sooo
I think the people with FB etc who only show you the "perfect" life they lead are the ones who are insecure, normal people like me aren't on it cause we don't give a shit what they had for dinner. I want to see all the funny, embarrassing, bad bits, then I might be interested in looking at what they're upto
I dont need it because im always outside doing things and hanging with friends or chillin with girls or with my motorcycle group. And i simply dont have time for it either. I find it annoying and pointless.
I dont need to upload drama posts about nonsense or read goofy crap or care about what on there. Id rather enjoy real life
On the contrary, people not having social media are more confident than most people on it. Think about it, they are so confident that they are impervious to peer pressure. They don't have to fake a life a chase likes to feel good about themselves.
Everyone is of course different and insecurity is something you can overcome and also something you can never face both with social media and without. Tbh your classmates not having social media because they are scared of being insecure makes them insecure about themselves. The way to overcome it is to face it head on and not be upset that people are better than you and use that as a reason to try and be better than them.
No no doesn t have to be relatable at all. Also moat if social media s stoeiws are overrated and exaggerated It s mainly artificial hence a display of insecurity and need of validation like yo I am cool. But really it can go both ways. Someone can be active displaying his achievements and all which I din t dind wrong at all and it s good for business

total opposite for many. i dont feel the need for constant affirmation so i dont use farcebook. some may not want to be judged so avoid it but i think the percentages are more in my favour
I think they are the opposite, they don't care what other people think and don't bother with seeing other people's. The majority of people IK don't and it's great as they're better to reach actually, if you wanna chill you text them real quick and head over and talk irl
I feel like people who are obsessed with social media are a hell of a lot more insecure than those without it. But hey, it’s there for people to enjoy so if you like it use it if you don’t no worries

True
No, I wouldn't consider them being insecure
I have friends who don't have any social platforms but are confident and super smart

I havnt had social media in 5 years now ☺
I dont need it because im always outside doing things and hanging with friends or chillin with girls or with my motorcycle group. And i simply dont have time for it either. I find it annoying and pointless.
I dont need to upload drama posts about nonsense or read goofy crap or care about what on there. Id rather enjoy real life
If I had things to do then I’d totally quit social media
No, I don't.
I find it questionable when someone has no online presence at all, especially if they're a young person. What are they hiding?
Even if it's just an Instagram account that you haven't used since 2013, that's something.

I don't think people who HAVE social media are insecure, but I KNOW people who overuse it are.
You’re not answering my question though
OH I'M SORRY XDDD
I misread it :')))
No, obviously not. I believe they're actually more secure about it.
Not at all. I bet they're secure as fuck with who they are because social media is literally just validation and attention seeking.
Everyone is insecure about something.
But I think people with little to no social media are happier than those who do.
They're out living their lives as opposed to sharing it with everyone to show how happy they are.
