So many years I struggle with this ‘approval’ thing.
I know it means nothing, bc these people who like you most of the time like you for no reason. It does not mean that they’re good friends or even does not mean that they care about you or even like you.
They can be gone from your social circle anytime, as I noticed.
But this approval still means a lot to me. I feel stupid, because I am not as young anymore as I was in my teenage years, and I shouldn’t care about approval so much.
But it actually affects me. If if upload pic on facebook, and it’s more likeable than other pics of mine, I feel that confidence boost. for a second.
Overall not uploading as much as before, but still.
It seems I really want to be likeable, both in real life and in virtual one. I don’t know why. It seems I can’t handle people which are rude to me and also it’s hard to be critisized. Mostly I hate when critisizm is not objective. I feel that I am very thin-skinned.
It could be age indeed. But there are people my age which care way less.
they don’t feel the need to upload selfies and do not cares about likes.
Maybe it’s also connected to certain personality traits.
what a great phrase!! I love it.
Yeah indeed I know it’s time to stop whole selfitis and approval thing happening.
Just I got used to it. I started being active on Social media by age of 9. It’s terrible habit to upload everything I do, and then wait for a approval. Like, sometimes it cn be seen as “annoying habit”.
I know one older ma’am which posts like 20-30 pics per day. she is on my fb friends list.
IDK why it seems a bit sad for me. it even feels like real life is not fullfiling for her
Overall I am very happy that many people here said my english is ok. Like I’ve said some experiences showed the opposite.
English is really not the easiest language. So many words… and one word can have tons of meanings
as for example my native language has very very different grammar from other languages. foreigners says the biggest problem is to learn grammar of my native language.
But… I never had such strange experience as reading novels of native american speakers. Hell it’s exciting. So many unknown, difficult words.
But because the language is so “wide” it’s so interesting to read.
