It has definitely created a "look at me" way of life for the average person. I feel like people do everything now with the intention of posting it on social media to show how cool they are, or how much fun they are having, as oppose to you know ACTUALLY having fun.

Girls are the worst with this. You see some big group of girls who are normally miserable fricking counts, they sit around together and look like miserable fricking counts, but for a split second they woop out their phone to take a pic and all of a sudden they're having the best time ever!!

Post it to FB with the caption "Best night ever!!".

Such a fake life.

People are doing things solely for the ability to post on social media instead of doing things for it's own enjoyment.

I agree, but people were doing this way before social media. We all crave reinforcement. We just get it in different ways.

Maybe I like to make observations about the behavior of others and receive positive reinforcement based on their accuracy on a message board, so I can't say I'm really any better than they are.
