"In the past, I saw one or two young girls taking pictures of themselves. But recently, more and more men have begun to take pictures of themselves every day. Why do men have to repeatedly show themselves in the online world? Is this a healthy psychological state?" Today we interviewed experts on this issue, and let's introduce it to you!
The study found that people's activities on the Internet make people more narcissistic. People who are more narcissistic seem to be more likely to indulge in microblogging, update messages, post some eye-catching photos, display recent feelings, etc. Because narcissistic people often need the affirmation of others, and on social networking sites, it is easy for people to present an "ideal" image that is different from reality, and narcissistic, exaggerated and other behaviors are more likely to be highlighted. Therefore, people of all classes, occupations and ages in the society are eager to expose themselves tirelessly. They bombard their followers with personal information in the form of microblog or blog. These people even think that no matter men or women, everyone's life details should be shared with strangers.
The Internet has now become an essential element in people's lives, and social networks give people an opportunity to expose themselves to the public world. Many ordinary people also like to show themselves through blogs, microblogs, WeChat and social networking sites, and the narcissistic part of their personality is gradually amplified; Nowadays, the over-attention and praise of the only child male is also easy to make the child self-centered, which has created the epidemic of narcissism. Some psychologists pointed out that we are facing a "narcissistic pandemic". Psychologists pointed out that moderate narcissism is a manifestation of mental health and self-confidence; But excessive narcissism is a kind of mental illness, which may be a kind of harm to yourself and others. If men blindly live in the illusion of "ideal self", they are not only easy to ignore the feelings of others, but also easy to develop into a kind of pathological self-reliance, which will bring endless spiritual suffering to themselves.
Internet social media contributes to the "narcissism pandemic"
Nowadays, the Internet has become an essential element in people's lives. For those who have a high desire for self-expression, the explosion of social networks has given them an opportunity to be exposed to the public world. They are keen to make many friends on the Internet, and are too concerned about whether their speeches are paid attention to. They all want to be treated like stars, with a large number of "fans" following them, So the epidemic of narcissism is created. Some psychologists pointed out that we are facing a "narcissistic pandemic".
Psychologists believe that the over-attention and praise of the one-child male is easy to make the child self-centered; In the era of star chasing, celebrities show their beauty, famous brands, popular songs and fashion elements on various occasions. This narcissistic complex is very infectious. Many ordinary people also like to show themselves through blogs, microblogs, WeChat and social networking sites. The narcissistic part of personality is gradually expanded; There is also the widespread use of credit cards, which exaggerates people's actual ability, which will also encourage young people to be intoxicated.
Recently, Bill Davidow, an American Internet information expert, said that frequent use of Internet social media would make people's narcissism more and more serious. Psychologists have tested more than 37000 college students and found that narcissistic personality traits are increasingly popular among young people.
In fact, everyone has a certain degree of "narcissism" complex, but the way of expression is different. For example, men prefer to boast about their past glory and glory, and use external success to prove that they are right. Experts pointed out that narcissism "epidemic" refers to people's frequent release of personal life privacy on social media, self-centered language, and excessive attention to their own attention.
Psychologists pointed out that moderate narcissism is a manifestation of mental health, a pleasant acceptance of self, and a manifestation of self-confidence. However, if the narcissistic complex is too serious, it may be that, as psychologist La Lockfoucauld said, "the most deceitful people in the world are more deceitful". Living blindly in the illusion of "ideal self" is not only easy to ignore the feelings of others, but also easy to develop into a kind of pathological self-reliance, which brings endless spiritual suffering to oneself.
