Superwowstyle Instagram – If you’re spending too much time showing the world how much fun you’re having, you can’t possibly be having real fun.
◾️Psychologically:
For most people (not all), this is a behavior primarily led by a need for social validation and/or
to conform to the expectations created by media/peers etc.
These expectations mostly revolve around how one should be living their lives, and submitting these posts as a form of ‘social’ proof in a subconscious attempt to ‘belong’ to the same community that impresses you so much.
Diving deeper, this is usually a result of feelings of inadequacy or a fear of missing out.
On some cases, this could simply be an expression of how seriously one feels about photography or the importance one places on capturing memories (as a part of subconscious belief that having memories would actually enhance the experiences for them). This is rare, but possible.
◾️Why it is detrimental?
While spending a little time capturing memories and posting on social media can actually be healthy, and even fun…
Spending too much time doing this prevents one from getting a mental break from digital media.
As humans we need to experience the world outside of of phones and gadgets. We need human connections, being present in nature.
‘Being in the moment’ is extremely crucial for all, as a grounding practice and centeting the thought processes, to help feel more aligned. This is in fact the basis of meditation practices and often the first step of learning for many in therapy sessions.
Without this, mental Confusion, anxiety, loneliness, depression etc could be very real possibilities.
◾️In conclusion
Enjoy your cameras, buy know when to put them down..remember, self care starts with putting your mental health first, by putting your natural needs first. Don’t deny yourself that for a few seconds of social validation.
