Couple Who Seldom Post Selfies On Social Media Are Happier

Jan 13, 2019 by apost team

Very few people want to see couples who continuously post selfies on their social media pages.

The photos make you want to puke. However, relationship expert and sexologist Dr. Nikki Goldstein says that couples who do so could be unhappy and unsatisfied by their relationships. As such, they seek validation from others by sharing their selfies online.

In an interview with the daily mail, Dr. Nikki said that in her job, she sees a lot of what people post on social media, but she also hears what really goes on in the lives of those couples. As she goes through her Facebook feed, everybody tells her that they are in very happy relationships. It is always the people who are constantly posting on social media who do so to seek validation. Such couples get so validated by the comments and likes of other people that it becomes their source of strength when they are facing hard times.

Those often posting selfies online get validation from what is said not from the person saying it. It's not easy to argue with this. What's for certain is that everyone knows someone who does this.

They post everything about their personal lives including selfies with different partners. Dr. Nikki believes that a lot of time is spent on creating the posts and checking the comments made by other social media users. She also says that this could further damage an already shaky relationship. Their main focus is on taking relationship selfies instead of focusing on the moment.

Goldstein thinks that the purpose of a selfie should be to remember wonderful moments and memories. Couples take these photos and straight away post them and start monitoring the comments and likes instead of spending this time with their partners. Dr. Nikki says that taking these selfies is not necessarily bad, but overdoing it can be damaging to an even strong relationship.

She advises couples to keep the posts entertaining and fun. People get bored when all your posts say how much love you have for your partner or how amazing they are.

Nikki says that the right thing to do is look for someone who you are similar to in real life, someone who is concerned about the actual state of the relationship and not what other people think of it.

If you follow her advice, you will be a happier couple, and the singles won't feel bad for not having someone special in their lives. In addition, most people won't feel like logging out of their social media accounts when going through their news feeds.
