Most of us enjoy having what we post being liked.
However, there are those certain select individuals who live for likes, with that magical thumbs up having the same importance as oxygen.
For every like, a dollar will be donated to the Narcissist Society to help find a cure for your huge ego.
Using a simple layout that gets straight to the point this infograph shows just how far mankind has fallen. Four sections, each colour coded, show how disappointing humans really are and how we can help ourselves. 58% say that they rather get that perfect shot for their timeline rather to sit back and enjoy the moment. And guess how many people say that they have risked their own safety to get a few more pathetic likes on Facebook. A whole whopping 14%. That number should be 0%.
People, why??
People are now getting so desperate for likes on Facebook that they are willing to give up so many other things that are way more important. They end up having long term unhappiness for a few moments of joy when they see that their new pic has reached the 500 likes point. Machines are slowly controlling us and we aren't aware of it.
Pretty much.
The fact that something like this infograph even exists shows that humanity has some serious issues. We could be worrying about so much more important things, but instead people choose to stress over how their Facebook post doesn't have enough likes.

Why would you want to sacrifice so many things just for Facebook likes? When you make a stupid post to fish for likes, you not only lose what you had to miss out on to achieve that 10/10 post, you also lose other people's respect. For example, one thing that irks me is people have hundreds of selfies in their photos, and then later post something like "OMG I'M SO UGLY." If you think you're so ugly, why do you have a album titled "me" with over 100 pictures of your so called ugly face.
We shouldn't need to rely on what are simply digital cookies to determine our self worth. Even though having more likes can raise our mood, it is a shallow short lived happiness. If you want to feel good about yourself, try going out to do something in the real world that you can actually be proud. Don't just neglect other things going on in your life to break your old record of 150 likes on that one profile picture. That's just sad.
