Do you think social media influencers are more prone to narcissism?

Do you think social media influencers and very frequent users/posters are more prone to narcissism than those who post less? Why or why not?

Prone to it? Narcissism is pretty much a requirement for anyone who wants to put themselves in the public eye. It's not that "influencers" are more prone to narcissism. They pretty much have to have narcissistic tendencies from the beginning to operate under the idea of turning their very looks and/or personality into a brand.

They all seem narcissistic to me. Come on - who’s going to take 10000 selfies every day and post them and respond to attention other than a narcissist lol.

I would assume so. Sadly social media is a validation trap and we all tend to get more of an inflated ego the more people we have following us, whether we try to repress those thoughts or not. This obviously doesn't apply to everyone, but most people are subconsciously affected by it.

All "celebrities" are, especially if they have been so since childhood. These days there are no solid moral or spiritual values and no trustworthy role models so narcissism comes with the territory.

Yes, absolutely. The fact that they are called cute names like influencers only serves to stroke their ego.
