Social media boast of a sign of narcissism?

There is a difference between sharing and sharing, especially if all his articles speak of the lust of their lives. Soni Kanake examines the effects of over-sharing on his disciples and their own self-esteem.

Over the last decade, social media has grown dramatically and is the official mode of communication, especially among young people and young people at heart. Nowadays, there is nothing unusual if a young woman or a man chooses to give us daily updates of their life on Facebook or Instagram.

Some women choose to accompany us in their pregnancy journey, step by step, with photos, while others alert us every time they leave the city or are in an upscale restaurant .

Yet others will share an intimate account of their day-to-day lives and with hash tags to start: #LunchwithBae, #BossLady, #Queening or #TeamGlamorous. Can you be too much for your followers? Where is the wisdom of showing everything to complete strangers?

Albert Mwangi, a communications specialist, says that there should be personal limits to what you can share and how often you do it. "While ideally, the idea of ​​sharing should be:" Hi guys, that's how I do now that we do not meet or branch often. " "That's not the case," says Mwangi. "We are evolving towards highly narcissistic and selfish people who share too much (but) it is good to keep some things for us," he advises. "In addition, in this era of identity theft, over-sharing puts you in danger of having your personal information in the wrong hands."

True, there are many people on social media who post to really inspire somebody or just "I post regularly because I like to share with people with whom I have common interests, "says Mwangi. "Often you find me posting things that are close to my heart like cars, traveling, geopolitics and family life," he says.

Mwangi thinks it's a fine line between narcissism and inspiration. "My point of view is that narcissists are more to show themselves – like, look at how my life is better than yours, I'm much better than you," he says.

How many of our lives should we reveal on social media? ? "You should share what is just enough to generate interest without undressing you, so that if someone wants to know everything about your life, all he has to do is go through your social media, "he says.

Leave it in a way that maintains a certain level of confidentiality. Narcissists do not know where to draw this line, says Mwangi.

Abigael Wanjohi, an official, does a lot of social media publishing on inspiring topics. "I do not do it for tastes but to encourage someone who has lost hope and needs to hear that there is still hope."
