Yes I think so, but secretly they're insecure. Social media is fake and it leaves them empty.

Social media definitely allows a lot more self promotion which is basic ingredient in narcissism.

@ISeeYou Yes and also many people who regularly use the Internet are young and immature. And then there's the fact that some people find that being anonymous allows them to be their worst self without the in-person social consequences.

@greenmountaingal I do not think it is about age but anonymity does prompt for being brash and aggressive.

@ISeeYou I am in my 70s. Most of my friends my age rarely use the Internet. One long time friend my age has NEVER accessed the Internet. I do know, however, that a lot of old folks do use it. Some chat boards seem to involve a lot of younger people and teens although I admit I've never actually checked the statistical demographics. I am hoping it will become a bit more civil in time.

It can reinforce that trait in them, but they are like that with or without it. Wherever they go.

Hmmm, yes and no. Definitely something akin to narcissism occurring in our youth. It’s in the same volatile range that’s for sure.

Yes too many selfie takers and Instagram food pictures I fear. @BiasForAction

I would say that Facebook/IG turned having a salad for lunch into something infinitely more significant than the cure for fucking polio.

So yes.

@SW-User Is it OK that I could not care less if someone "checked into" Cracker Barrel? Why is everything suddenly so significant? Lol.
