Why do some people post too much on social media almost like they’re constantly looking for a hookup or some kind of validation?

Interesting question!

For me anyway.. i am a person who doesn't say a lot in a group of friends. I don't feel like I need to and i don't unless I have something to say that matters.
Yet on social networking and online i start to say everything in detail and o often get sidetracked i believe..
For me i think it's because of the chances of being misunderstandings or not getting across my thoughts is a lot bigger.
Also talking to others feels like it's not that real and ir might be easier to let all my thoughts come out. Without getting any feedback, expect what the others might writes afterwards.. (this rant is a good example i guess)

Because they are looking for that lol. People with unhealthy coping skills seek validation through unhealthy means

Because maybe they are. What difference does it make to you?

Because they're constantly looking for hookups and validation. Normally mommy or daddy issues.

A bit generic written i think. But often I believe that it is one of several reasons yes..

They either need an ego boost or they need to brag about themselves
