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?

"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!
