Social Media has created a society of narcissists

Just saw this post:
And it reminded me of just how warped young Millennials and Gen Z are by growing up in an era of social media where their parents were too old to conceptualize SM during their brain growth era so they did it wrong, too, and warped a generation of Gen X into extreme narcissists, too.
The sad part is this is a LIGHT example of a typically poisoned mind.
The scary part is that I don't think you can really unwire narcissism, so how society moves on from here is going to be a roller coaster.

These people were already narcissists. This just gives them a platform.

It's deeper than that though. Social media will be the ruin of the country IMO. It won't happen for a while, because these kids growing up surrounded by it now won't be in positions of power for a while. But eventually the old school lines of thinking will phase out and the social media generations will take over. And most likely, it's gonna suck.
And sure, some kids will grow out of it and grow up and recognize whta is important and what isn't. But shite like the OP will continue to trend upward until it's the majority. IMO at least.

Naw man. These kids grew up believing that they had to promote themselves like this to the world and their perceptive intrinsic value is based on reactions to these displays. It's literally warped and re-wired their brains via dopamine reactions to SM reactions.
It's not even that they have to be displayed, it's the neurotic curation of the displays.
It's almost like we have 1/3 of our society living in a artificial reality

I think the truth is in between.
It’s a platform that has given narcissists a way to get that dopamine fix without abusing others. In the past, narcissists got their power fix by the manipulation of others face to face. Particularly in intimate relationships.
Now they just have to log into Instagram.

Social media should be banned for those under 18.

While social media has its upsides, overall its societies online cesspool.
It really is.
It really is.

Narcissists were always lurking about. Social Media made it acceptable. The scary thing is how normalized it's become.

I just think we have always had these types and social media just gives them more of a platform, or a different platform to display their false realities.
Now I do think that social media makes it more harmful and exasperates the problem for these types, but I do believe that they have always been around.

Normal narcissists on SM take it to the extreme
Normal kids on SM are warped into normal narcissists
It's not an either/or situation

That's not true at all.

Everything is about clout now. Kids don't care about the good jobs and making money they want others to think they are successful.
Outfits are bought based on future Instagram posts. Kids coordinate the stupidest things. Then they all video chat and show what they got.
Then when you go on social media you have tons and tons of rich kids who's parents rent them mansions. So they can create content. It's crazy. Then the kids wants more junk because so and so was paid to say it was good.
I'm ready to become Roger and find me a cabin in Alaska. It's only going to get worse.
