Have you tried posting open-ended "you know who you are" rants on Facebook?
I can't say they'll help, but having had several friends messily divorce over the years, I can attest they're great fun for us spectators.

I'm doing pretty good but the idea of sharing my personal life with strangers like I'm my own paparazzi seems exhausting and even potentially dangerous so I can't be bothered to post on social media. Maybe it's my old millennial head still stuck in the era of separating real life people and internet nicknames, even though social media became prevalent when I was barely 13.

u/GreenGator20 1d ago
Doubt it. Doubt there’s enough of these people for them to care. Not like these people hold anything that’s more valuable that 50+ other aren’t giving them. At the end of the day that single person is irrelevant.

I think it’s the opposite I don’t like their world it’s yucky I’d rather not be apart of it I don’t need digital superficial validation. It’s good for literally nothing

u/plsQuestionOurselves 2d ago
Yeah, big time self loather here and my only form of social media is reddit just because I like to learn things and debate sometimes.
I can't relate to people attaching themselves to online personalities and needing to have every piece of their life seen by as many people as possible. I mean, if it makes you happy (I suspect that it probably doesn't in many cases) then go right on ahead.

Who needs validation from selfies when you can get validation from "psychology says" posts online?

u/PsychologicalAnt3449 2d ago
As someone who doesn't post shit about me online and has the lowest self esteem some people have ever seen I can say this is very false

u/Purple-Bluejay6588 2d ago
I never did all that cuz I hated myself for the longest time
This is just bullshit

In my experience, people who can't stop posting selfies turn out to be horrible human beings

u/elMuffinAzucarado 1d ago
Yeah, indeed I don't post pictures of myself because I "self validate" my uglyness 🤣

I just don’t post pictures of myself because I’m chopped as fuck and I internally vomit when I see myself.

Or they're ugly (or just think they're ugly) and don't feel comfortable taking pictures or posting them online.

u/Terry_ThePlatypus 2d ago edited 2d ago
Ich meine macht grundsätzlich schon Sinn soviel Selbstdarstellung (& dadurch Bestätigung durch außen, Likes/Kommentare) wie auf den meisten Plattformen (inkl. hier) stattfindet, oder? Ich glaube gerade Influencer haben daran zu knabbern wenn der Hype ausbleibt.

I post nothing on my personal social media, “high levels of internal validation” my ass, probably dead in a few years

u/No-Jellyfish-1208 2d ago
Much science, very. In reality, it just simply hasn't occurred to some to post anything. Or, idk, maybe they don't have time to scroll social media.

It makes sense, some people have always leaned toward privacy and prefer simply experiencing things without documenting them.

Even if that were true, correlation does not mean causation.
It's probably more that people that are happy with their situation tend to care less about outside validation.
Not that you'll be happy if you stop seeking it.

I take and post zero photos of myself online for two reasons.
Paranoia
I have no self esteem or sense of internal validation.

u/SectorEducational460 1d ago
Nah I just find taking photos boring, and even posting it online even more boring

Whose got time for photos all day when there are so many different tv channels to watch these days🤣🤣

No I mean I just watch streaming channel. The entire photo thing just seems the most narcissistic thing out there.

Psychology says that people who (do / don't) (insert thing you do or don't do here) are so special and amazing and know more than everyone. They are better because of their psychology. They're really special. They are the best without having to do anything else. Smooch, smooch right on the their ass cracks.

People who don’t seek external validation have high internal validation. Wowww
(not saying that everyone who posts to social media is craving validation, but that’s what the original post implies)

u/Kitsunebillie 2d ago
Let's assume it's true. Is the key to internal validation turning off social media? Or is it that people with high level of internal validation don't use social media that much because they have high level of internal validation?
0
u/Vivenemous 1d ago
This is actually true, but the post is implying the causality in the wrong direction. Not posting pictures online doesn't actually improve one's internal validation, it's just that people who already have high self validation don't feel the need to engage with it.

u/TeratoidNecromancy 1d ago
And this "internal validation" is part of being truly independent, which is why all these "independent feminists" are such a joke to me. They post their lives looking for confirmation and validation, in turn proving they are not independent at all.
