Abstract

Well, we tend to sleep in a dynamic world of social media. Social media platforms allow us to share picture, videos and status updating revealing what's going on in our lives. They basically give us an opportunity to boast about ourselves. We want to look good and feel good about ourselves and show it to be the world. Research conducted at the Harvard University reveals that talking about ourselves makes us feel happy and high social media helps in rendering this affect. We post the best of pictures and talk highly about ourselves and our family on the social media. We try to show the amount of fun we are having in our lives. However, this is not it. We, then seek approval of others. We want to see as to how many people actually like what we are doing in life.
