Why Is Social Media Making People More Narcissistic

Is Social Media Making People More Narcissistic?

Social media is something that has been affecting drastically our society, it's making people be afraid of how they wake up in the morning. Because they look “imperfect”. This has been influenced for years now, but now we are clearly getting affected by what some people like to call... The narcissistic peak.

The narcissistic peak has affected the world during two completely different eras, The French revolution era, and the millennial era. The narcissistic peak has only happened twice in the history we know as a "peak" because at the time off of the French revolution the first and second state were rich, and they could buy many clothing and accessories they used a lot of makeup even men were

We have started a new peak with the improvement of technology and the birth of social media. Social media has been misused within the past few years we have learned to use it incorrectly, by overexposing ourselves and becoming slowly a narcissistic well being.

Frequent posting, loads of selfies, overexposing our bodies, becoming obsessed with how we look, are all signs of growing narcissism.

Do you experience one? Just by being born during with the years (1980-Now at days) or how you may link it to… the millennial age, generation Y, it doesn't matter how you call it, What matters now is how it has been showing the growth of narcissism. This generation has been proved to have a bigger influence on obsession on themselves and wants to get that clear to everyone surrounding them.

Have you seen the change? "Millennials are hungrier and more well-educated than any generation in history, and they understand technology," said Challenger. "They are knocking at the door of people sitting in comfy positions and that's where the negativity comes from—a real place of insecurity." Source: CNBC, Are Millennials Entitled To Be Narcissistic? We have been shown to the world both sides to what the Y generation is getting up

Is it really worth it? Millenials have the power of social media platforms in the palm of their hands, Yet some of them are using this to become a narcissist well-being. Some signs of narcissism may be:

1. Updating their profile picture every week.

2. Posting updates on how they look during the transverse of the day.

3. Changing outfits, because they are in demand of higher self-steam.

4. Looking, Checking themselves out on any contemplative surfaces.

5. Overexposing their bodies because of how obsessed they are with their looks.

There are two types of narcissists on the statements; The "offline" narcissist and the "online" narcissist. The offline meaning that they only stand out their character outside the media platforms, and the online stating that they live their narcissistic behavior during their posting and updates.

The influence that many communicative media Queen and Kings have been spreading has affected the 2014-2017 population. By any chance, we can see how the media may push younger girls to do makeup, so they can be satisfied with how they look, Or young boys to start working out to look sculpted and have abs. All of this just so they gain the title of perfection throughout
