Navigating the world of social media can sometimes experience a psychological mine field. In our search, we often discover more than our online options than we intend to, in particular, when it comes to our insecurities.
According to psychology, there are certain behavior that insecure people tend to show in social media. These are delicate marks, easily missed if you do not pay attention.
But when will you know what to look for they are clearly evident?
In this article, I am going to share 7 things that are needy people often posted on social media. It’s not about to judge or vacate anyone.
Instead, we are talking about using social media to help us all to help us all.
So let’s dive and study this general behavior. Who knows you can even recognize a few of your own feed?
1) Distribution of personal personal data
The term “TMI” (too much information) is usually thrown on social media, and it seems that it is a common habit for those who feel insecure.
In the world of psychology, it is not uncommon to meet the concept that people often reveal more than they intend to, in particular, when they feel uncertain or insecure for themselves.
This can often translate personal details in social media platforms.
Individuals with insecurities may feel the need for ratification, and to get it can more easily share personal or sensitive information.
Although it can be temporary relief or immediate attention, it can also make them criticism or judgment.
Thus, if you are faced with mail unloading, which can usually keep a secret, take a moment in mind that a person can deal with some insecurities. And remember – Understanding and compassion goes a long way in these situations.
2) To seek for constant authentication
Ah, the “Like” button is a two-way sword of social media. On the one hand, getting “such” can feel a small incentive to authenticate, a small confessor who has seen and evaluated to you.
On the other hand, when you don’t get so “liked” because you hope it can feel like a personal rejection.
I’ve seen it happening to myself. I remember a time when I painted a picture of my new apartment. I was so excited about it and waited for everyone to be.
But when only a few “likes” collected, I felt hidden and began to interrogate that I made the right decision. Looking back, I can see how my insecurity played a role in that situation.
If you find that you are constantly checking for “likes” or feeling your posts don’t get the answer you hope can take time and reassess why you are confirming.
Remember that your value is not determined how “you like”.
3) Compare herself to others
Have you ever caught yourself the profile of someone else’s social media and thinking? “Why can’t I be my life like?” If you have, you’re not alone. It’s a trap, many of which fall.
At today’s perfect posts today and carefully treated profiles are easy to feel like everyone’s life is better than our lives. We see their importance and compare them to our back scenes, often leaving us feeling insufficient or insecure.
Famous psychologist, Dr. Albert Elis, when he said. “The art of love is mainly the art of perseverance.” This could be interpreted as a reminder that the development of loving relations with us requires persistent efforts.
It includes consistently reminding ourselves that what we see in social media is not always a real reflection of reality.
Remember that everyone has their own struggle and challenges. They can just not choose them to share them online. Instead of comparing you to others instead, focus on your own journey and your progress. That’s what really matters.
4) post negative or attentive search status
Another general behaviors in insecure feelings are trend to post negative or attention. These records often cry out a help or a way of ratification and confidence in others.
This behavior was taken into a study at the Brunel University of London, which found individuals of low self-esteem more likely to have the status updates about their current romantic partner.
This implies that insecure people use social media as a dimension, they want to ratify and assure.
It is important to remember that while looking for comfort and support from our social networks is completely normal, and others can be a sign of deep insecurity for the ratification.
Spending time for self-knowledge and self-service can help promote our self-esteem and reduce the need for external authentication.
5) Division of success without recognizing the struggle
We have all seen these messages on social media. Huge successes showcases without mentioning any hard work or challenges.
I was even guilty of self-guilty, sharing a photo of the finished project without taking the late nights and endless coffee entered into it.
This behavior can often be associated with insecurity. We want the world to show our best things, our success, but we are afraid to show the struggle, fearing that it can afford us weak or incompetent.
Recognition of our struggle does not allow us to force us to man. And it’s only when we accept ourselves, struggle and everyone to be able to grow and change.
So next time you are going to share success in social media, consider some travels that reached you there. Can you be surprised how much more relationships your posts become?
6) rarely appear in their photos
Now it may seem counter-revolutionary. After all, social media is about sharing our lives, isn’t it? Interestingly, people who are insecure are often ashamed of posting their pictures.
Instead, their feed is filled with pictures of other people with beautiful landscapes, smart animals or inspiring quotes.
This reluctance to post their pictures can be a sign that they are uncomfortable with their appearance or fearing to be judged by others.
It is good to show our insecure sides. In fact, this is often through our insecurities and fears that we find our real strengths.
So if you notice that someone rarely posts their photos on social media don’t necessarily mean they are shy to be shy. It can be a sign that they deal with some insecurities. And as always, a little understanding and compassion can go a long way.
7) Deleting records that are not enough “like”
Finally, one subtle sign of insecurity is when people constantly delete messages that do not receive a certain amount of “likes”.
It looks like a lack of social authentication denies the merit of the post or worse its own self-esteem.
As a famous psychologist Abraham Maslow said:
Don’t let the number of “likes” in your value. You are more than the amount of your social media interactions.
Final reflections
By sailing in the Labyrinth of Social Media, we often face positions that look at us in the insecurity of our surroundings.
But it is important to remember that everyone has their battles, and our online person is part of our complex identities.
These insecurity marks are not for judgment, but instructions for compassion and understanding. We all learn, grow up and fight in our ways.
We all have insecurities that sometimes see the posts of our social media.
So next time you spin through your feeding, remember to be kind. Be kind to others who can deal with their insecurity in the sole way of how.
And most importantly, be kind to yourself. Your value is not set in the presence of your social media or how others perceive you online.
