RadX Moderator July 29, 2019 Share July 29, 2019 As above, does that like or praise really make any difference to your self worth?

RadX Moderator July 29, 2019 Author Share July 29, 2019 on a serious note, it shows the insecurities of the young folks where being accepted is important and need to justify that like. For eg, if ppl do not like their post, they will be questioned....what gives? test test, testing 123.... Ok its me.... lol...i know lah.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tianmo Hypersonic July 29, 2019 Share July 29, 2019 (edited) on a serious note, it shows the insecurities of the young folks where being accepted is important and need to justify that like. For eg, if ppl do not like their post, they will be questioned....what gives? Its a new era, we will have to get into their world to understand what they are thinking. Its a new way of social acceptance, much like the old days of joining gangs and SS, the feeling of being accepted. But not all youth behave this way, however I think this grp probably form less than 20%. The normal ones will out grown this thing I guess, after a while it becomes no longer exciting. My 14 yrs old son doesnt give a damn about the likes and what not on IG. Apart from posting mainly his podium pictures, he only post once in a while when he run a PB or when he gets a new pair of shoes. Other than that his IG is very boring, and most of his classmates are quite similar except for a few attention seekers who will post useless things everyday. My 2 girls have both outgrown this stage, while they used to whatsapp me to go like their IG posts, the whatsapps have since stopped coming in, and the volume of the IG posts have also slowed down alot. I guess the up bringing, their self esteem, and the family play an important part. Those who cannot get it one way, will always try to get it from another way. Those who have it will find it quite hard to understand those who dont have it.. Edited July 29, 2019 by Tianmo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash2017 Twincharged July 29, 2019 Share July 29, 2019 (edited) it makes a lot of difference if our resident undertaker gives me a praise. That single praise can keep my Tesla going for more than 450 kms on a single charge. On a serious, those who claim they are not affected are bulls**tting.

Weez911 Supersonic July 29, 2019 Share July 29, 2019 Good thread. My son is probably using an Excel spreadsheet to track all likes/dislikes for all his social media postings. I think that is a sure route to an anxiety disorder. As parents, we have no idea how to curb his obsession with others' comments. It's almost like his online world is his only world. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
