Why do so many people constantly seek social media validation about every part of their lives?

Come on we all do it, don't we?
No, we don't all do that - some of us have real lives!

@SW-User I suppose and agree on the lazy aspect

"So many" is by no means "we all"!

Those who do must be very shy or so lacking in self-confidence or real interests in life, that they need considerable moral support from distant, anonymous strangers.

I am rather shy and I do use SW though abjure utterly sites like Facebook (mainly because I know its purpose); but thanks to varied interests I have sizeable circles of friends and acquaintances I meet in real life.

I can't remember who, but do recall reading of one Hollywood actor who if asked which social medium he uses, replies, "Face to face". Whilst a forum like this can be stimulating or entertaining, face to face is how it should be!

@SW-User good to hear, you and me alike. But by being here, are we not doing it surreptitiously?

@Ironicman Well, I don't think it's the same thing tbh, I don't show my real name or photos of my real life

@SW-User I know and agree. I think I sometimes anonymously seek validation for things I self doubt.
