Gee, thanks for making a statement without providing any rationale. Are you just going to leave your statement at that, or actually elaborate on your reason why you think I'm wrong?

It would have been quicker to just google the term "self-validation" but in a nutshell it means needing no external validation (e.g from followers on social media).

Lol yh alot of people try to paint their life as amazing but hey its their life, if you're smart enough to see past it instagram is fun
I laugh at majority of the posts on instagram rather than be jealous like some kids who are obsessed with pulling the perfect selfies to impress creeps(me being one of the creeps:tongue:)
