Why do people seek validation on social media?

[ManHater]

When I see face book and all these other social media platforms I see a lot of people posting stuff about their lives etc... Even on youtube you have husbands and wives making a whole youtube channel about their whole family and kids etc... Like what has happened to this world?

I quit all social media, do I miss it nope. I feel better now that before. I don't care what people do with them selves and I don't have to seek validation from people who I barley know.

So what's the deal with all the fake face and perfect lives that people like to think they have?

You do get a unique high trip without smoking or drinking but just clicking a few buttons. You even get a high "do i post or do i not post" and shit doubles down if its popular. Then again and again. Wanting more and more.

You get close to the same rush as skydiving but from a computer chair as lame as it sounds. At the same time who cares about you skydiving? A bomb ass social media post gets 1000+ people seeing you and having fun with you. while it takes professional stand up comedian a decade to get the same attention.

It's not sustainable or reliable but i get why people reach out to grab lightning in a bottle.

It's closer to a gambling addiction.

I think it’s boredom and vanity. I too closed down all my social media accounts and feel better for it. I did it initially to uncomplicated things with my girlfriend. I get so many messages from women I know it would cause issues. So I deleted all of them and it’s been 2 months and I don’t miss it at all.

I would love to close my Instagram and tiktok as well because it's toxic and people claim all men are cheaters or males always look at those big boobed women and drool over them like corn addicts. And women give terrible dating advice in general there and Instagram reels are the same BS nowadays. People on the internet make it seem like small boobs are a flaw and only big breasts are acceptable online etc etc. I really dislike social media.

You like to generalize men to much, get out there and ask them. Not all men like big tits, it's all about proportion Cat. However I understand that some people can't really think for them selves so they follow the pack and well that's what you get. Smart people are not followers.

What’s a “corn addict”?

Do you mean PORN? PORNOGRAPHY. What is it with your generation and goddamn euphemisms? “Help! Someone got graped because of a corn addiction!”

Sounds pretty retarded. Stop self-censoring.

I was saying other women say that on tiktok not me? Did you even read what i said?

Agree it's very cringe
Especially facebook, Instagram, TikTok
Feels so good when you don't use them

They are insecure because they haven't matured.
