So there's this guy I know from a while ago. He's a VERY good-looking brother. In fact, I may have had a teeny tiny crush on him some kind time like this. Anyways, this fine brother was a very smart individual (well, doctors are smart, right?) and very confident in himself. Maybe confident to the point of arrogance. He's one of the few guys (if not the only guy) I know who likes his own photos on Facebook.
I know other people who do the same thing. They put up a picture on Facebook or Instagram and then proceed to "like" the photo. It's not as if there's anything legally or morally wrong with that, but isn't it kinda weird? Like, since you're posting the photo, doesn't that already mean that you like it? Isn't that why you posted it? If you don't like the picture, then why would you put it up online? So posting it means that you think the picture is nice... so why go a step further and "like" the photo?
If you know the answer please help me out, because it baffles me every time I see another instance.
No answers here Berry, also eagerly awaiting explanations. I've always wondered the same thing too!
ReplyDeleteHehehe
DeleteHahahah, I reli don't know, but I still like my pix on instagram, infact am d ist to like my pix :d
ReplyDeleteLOL, but why? Are you afraid someone else won't like them? Or you just feel like you're the master-liker of your own pictures?
DeleteI dont think it makes sense to 'like' your pwn pictures. Almost same as tooting your whistle
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say it's necessarily tooting, but... I just still don't get it.
DeleteUNLESS the picture or status is just like magnificently stupendously awesome!!! Enh heh, then I can like my picture.
Dis is very funny.
ReplyDelete:p
DeleteI like all my pictures on social media and especially Instagram, don't think there's anything wrong with it.....
ReplyDeleteHehehe, that's fine, but why?
DeleteHello Berrrrrrryyyyyy, I sent an email from my Gmail account and I'm yet to get a reply * sad *
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I like my own pictures, esp. on instagram even tho I think its vain, but oh well I like to indulge once in a while.
ReplyDeleteLol, okay so in your case the few times you like your pictures is vanity. I can appreciate that :D
DeleteNo idea o but pls post a link to said fine guy's Facebook so I can ponder on his pics and try to figure out why ;)
ReplyDeleteBUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO!!!
DeleteAs in eh. For me, this also goes for liking your own status update. Haba!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know people who like their own status updates as well.
DeleteI do that alot.its fun.

LOL, how so?
DeleteLOL, how so?
DeleteI don't necessarily like all my pictures on Instagram but I don't see anything wrong with people doing so. I think putting the picture up says "this picture is cute. I like it, I'm gonna share it". Then liking it after you post it says "I really like this picture". It shows to me that you are your biggest fan and it would matter not to you if people liked the picture or not. As it should.
ReplyDeleteBut, that's just me.

Well, that's an explanation. Thanks!
DeleteI think the people that like their own pictures on social media do so
ReplyDelete1. To increase the number of likes on the pictures
2. To show people that they love them selves enough
Personally to me, it shows insecurity and I don't think that's a good look.
I don't personally think they're insecure; I just feel confused.
DeleteOk, maybe another reason for liking 'self-posted' own pictures on Facebook is to 'remind' people to like, comment and all? Since friends would get the notification after the first notice.
ReplyDeleteG
Hehe @ reminder. But a Facebook notification would say something like "SoandSo liked their OWN picture." Ah well, different strokes...
DeleteBerry, where is my comment?
ReplyDeleteWhich one? Uh oh, was it mistakenly deleted? Can you comment again?
Deletei always like my picture on any of the social media
ReplyDeleteBerry Very Funny lol. I usually like my photos cossss I'm my biggest fan + Even If noone else likes, I'm saying I like it alot + Encourage people to also like :)
