4. Everyone is Somewhat Narcissistic
This is one controversial topic that people talk about when it comes to using social media. It’s all about recording yourself and taking selfies in order to build your brand to build an audience to eventually make money out of it. It certainly seems that way. But when you subtract social media from the equation, you get something not so likable; narcissism. According to Psychology Today, studies have consistently shown that those who score higher on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory questionnaire turn out to have a lot of friends on Facebook. It’s pretty simple as postdoctoral researcher, Laura Buffadi, explains it. “Narcissists use Facebook and other social networking sites because they believe others are interested in what they’re doing, and they want others to know what they are doing.” No matter how many times people claim they are not narcissistic, especially the popular ones, don’t believe their words. Instead, believe their actions. Of course they’re going to deny they’re narcissistic because nobody wants to be called that. But in the end, it’s okay if you carry these traits because in reality, there’s more people today who do so don’t be surprised if you’re one of them.
