What Is Your Social Media Profile Really Saying About You?

Don’t over-selfie

With (super-fun!) filters on Snapchat, you might pass time or kill boredom by taking quick shots with puppy ears or hearts around your noggin. While sending those funny photos to your friends that disappear within five seconds is probably okay, psychologist Sarah Schewitz, PsyD, says that if you’re posting these me-and-only-me photos on Facebook or Twitter, you might give people the idea that you’re full of yourself. “While selfies have become more common, there is a time and a place for them. It’s perfectly appropriate for you to have a picture of you by yourself as your profile photo. However, if every single picture you are posting on social media (or even if more than half of the pictures you post) are of you, by yourself, looking pretty or checking out your abs in the mirror, you are definitely going to come across as conceited,” she says. “There is so much more to you than just a pretty face or rock hard abs. Show us that too!” Check out these surprising facts about selfies.
