8 traits of attention seekers on social media

Social media platforms like instagram and facebook are an attention seekers paradise.These platforms are replete with lonely people who will engage with anything that shows up in their feed-all they need is to be stimulated.Further, some people have a habit of pressing like or heart button whenever they see a new post .This makes things fantastic for those seeking attention.

The attention seeker comes in various forms-the over-sexed model in bikini pictures, the innocent girl pouting on a bad day, the gym rat showing off his muscles, the innocent girl sharing all her food pictures, the nerd getting photographed with the celebrity and so on.Those who seek validation to excessive levels often like their own posts or pictures by themselves as well.

The following are the most common traits of attention seekers:

  1. Posting multiple times a day
  2. Posting provocative stuff 
  3. Urging engagement/comments
  4. Posting something negative like "I know i look like a dork in this pair of glasses" wherein everyone will comment saying "No, you look fab"
  5. Liking own posts
  6. Replying to every comment with a heart
  7. Posting every detail of their life /having no boundaries
  8. Posting "grander than real " life details -exotic holiday locations, restaurants,high flying parties when they might not be real

Why we repeat same patterns in all relationships

The first meeting Fleeting glances Smiles and laughter Diner dates Walks on the beach Commitment Moving in together Disagreements Non-matching intimacy requirements Fights Explosive fights Quest for peace Breakup Zen meditation class Temporary peace Same patterns in next relationship(s) This is how relationships typically pan out and thereafter one wonders why each of my relationships followed the same course-same type of partner, same reasons for incompatibility ,same kinds of endings. The answer to this lies in wiring in childhood. In our development phases as children, we observe our immediate caregivers and our parents marriage is the first model for what a marriage looks like. What also matters is the quality of our relationship with opposite sex parent-it models our subsequent interactions with members of the opposite sex.
