    I got off it for that reason. I absolutely cannot stand when people take photos so they can post them on social media, and then curate their profiles (PROBABLY) so they can get validation from others. I have a friend that curates her photos to be colour-coordinated or something, but I don’t see the point of any of it at all. It just screams low self-esteem and fake to me.

    I wonder if it’s because they want to share things with a larger circle? Maybe it helps them feel connected to the world?

      Yesss same! Some of them had like this theme going on on their profile where all their pics made a bigger pic, or were posted in 3s. And for what? For who? For the millions of bots that plague insta and twitter and FB and whatever?

      Maybe it does help them feel connected, but like, they have partners or husbands and go on campings trips or whatever, it’s weird they still need validation from old HS classmates, strangers, and bots.

      I’m probably just getting old and shitty 😂😂
