Do people really need to post every single thing they do? And the constant selfies! One old friend posted 16 in one day. She's not a kid; she's in her mid forties and just average looking but there she is ....in short shorts, tight dresses, low cut blouses in her car. What? I think this world has gone crazy. I'm curious if it's just people I know or is this common to post pictures of yourself ad nauseum?

It's unbelievable what they post...and so BORING! Either they really are narcissists or just really sad people with no lives. Either way, it's disturbing.

They post selfies then go back to see how many likes they got. The tend to base their self worth off it, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is about people posting continuous, inappropriate and redundant photos of themselves on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Trying to figure them out is not judging them. People I've known for years seem to have lost their minds on social media lately. I'm just not getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever posted a picture of yourself? I can truthfully say that I have never posted even ONE. I don't see what the motivation is but going overboard annoys your 'friends'.
