Social Media
Having many likes on the posts that are made on social networks may meet many
expectations that each person creates for themselves.
One of the main reasons why people sadly hope to get likes is because they want to feel
approved by others. The greater the number of likes, the more people they think they know.
You can call this attention seeking, a way to call someone who post excessively on social
media to get comments and likes.
Many other people are in a social competition to get likes, because they think the likes are
so important that they start this competition against each other to be approved by others.
Subjective conformity can be seen in things like social media, where people often follow
the same people their friends are following. This could be changing one's behavior in order
to fit in with a group. For example, a teenager might dress in a certain style because they
want to look like their peers who are members of a particular group or they want to fit in the
social media world to get others attention.
There are many people who like to post to feel good about themselves. This can be called
self confidence. But there are some other people who upload photos of themselves that are
highly photoshopped, many times that affects the self-esteem of others, comparing
themselves with people on the internet.

social networks have been linked to depression, body image concerns, self-esteem issues,
social anxiety, and other problems.
