gettin off on likes

It's been proven that the sound of your phone going off makes you happy.

I can relate to this it's quite sad, but I think people's happiness is fuelled by irrelevant things nowadays, such as Facebook likes, how many followers you have, how many people favourited your tweet about your new hair. 

Facebook likes or likes on any social networking platform are becoming a currency.

The number of people clicked like on your photo of you with a fuck load of make up on that took you 19 attempts to get the right angle doesn't make you any better of a person. 

People get upset that they didn't get enough likes and I've even heard of friends falling out because they didn't like a photo they posted.

WHAT?!

Surely friendship isn't based on whether they click a like button. 
It doesn't mean they give a shit.  

If Social media popularity is really important to you you need to reevaluate yourself and your life.
If that's what's important to you then I feel very sorry for you.

You should be focusing on how people perceive you in real life instead of online with all the filters that you can add to make your life look cooler than it actually is. 

People do things that they wouldn't do in real life online...e.g Facebook famous kids eating soap or doing the condom challenge . 

I watched one video of a kid doing the condom challenge and he said you can die from it.

Why would you do something that could potentially kill you just for popularity.

Are you dumb?

Yeah ok share fun stuff on Facebook but don't go begging for likes doing ridiculous things for attention. 

I think it's easy to get caught up in the stressful popularity contest fuelled world of Facebook, Instagram and twitter, were all guilty of it. 

But I feel quite sorry for 12-16 year olds having to grow up with all this pressure. Fuck that go back to making tree houses instead of statuses.
