RE: Everyone’s a Little Narcissistic

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

I have found millenails to be the most jaded generation ever. I'm technically a Gen X ER having missed "boomer" cut off date so to speak. Most people my age don't have the need for social networking that they younger crowd does. I simply don't understand why young people are so wrapped up in self promotion. I've always felt the best way to promote one's self was through your actions and accomplishments. If you really are what you think you are , others will spread the word. Taking selfies and posting about your personal activities constantly kinda reminds me of the old axiom " all hat and no cattle" .

Just an FYI @luvbuniz GenX is often known as the lost generation not the narcissistic generation. I don't use that appellation myself since the post WWI generation is rightly the lost generation. Still I can see how the term can be applied since GenX is sandwiched between boomers and millennials both of which are larger demographics.

Agreed. It also takes time away from doing actual activities and accomplishments. My life has been so much better since deleting the FB app from my phone. My sister uses Instagram more since Facebook is for 'oldies'.
