I'm guessing its becoming more common. Used to have a friend named Carlos who did that; was a Snapchat/ Instagram slave, would double tap and swipe up so repetitively it looked like he was just scrolling. Do these people think that if they don't feed everyone around them undying attention, they'll lose all their friends or something?

I have heard of people obsessing over the likes that they personally get, which I would deem abnormal in the normal range of being neurotic/insecure etc... but if she is really primarily invested in liking other people's shit then yeah that's weird. Although I guess it's probably a ploy to hopefully get more likes in return anyway?

It's not "common" at least.

>women are obsessed, amirite?

No

What's uncommon is you being obsessed with this issue. Some people are very involved with social media. It's not attractive to me but to each their own.

She also obsesses over the likes she gets, for example, when she posts a picture on Facebook or Instagram she immediately asks me to like and comment on it, and I know she says the same to other friends of hers, and her friends do the same with her. This is all very weird to me.

It wouldn't bother me at all if she was only obsessed around her friends, but how much time she spends following randoms and liking stuff from randoms and the fact that she has her snapchat on her Instagram bio kind of bothers me a little.

>don't think about/ look at it, just like it

Isn't this the essence of being "positive"? This is how those endless energy people treat things.

Next time just laugh and tell her to grow up. She won't ask you again.

Well given that half my social circle doesn't even have social media I feel like I'm at the other end of the spectrum with anecdotal evidence, but yeah she sounds a bit high strung about this stuff.

How does she respond if you tell her you don't like insta-liking everything she posts because to you it doesn't mean anything anymore and you want to reserve it for the times you truly smile/take a moment to think etc? Present it as a quantity vs quality type of deal.
