Can you like me? Pretty pretty please? I really need to get some attention to elevate my mood and my confidence. Best part is this is just subliminal. I don't even have to say it. All I have to do is post something in Facebook.

Facebook the is the panacea for all attention seekers. They feel hurt when noone 'likes' their status. They feel overjoyed with a sense of accomplishment when their status, their link or their picture is liked by many. They keep tabs of the maximum number of likes they ever got and are always trying to beat that record. They post at least 3-4 profile pictures a month maybe more. Sometimes their postings tether on the edge of being socially acceptable. Some like to post interesting links but it becomes a self fulfilling chore pretty soon.

a. Look at me, I'm so smart!  (I need to confirm this once in a while)
b. I am in tune with a lot!  (I don't have a life so I have time to share all these links)
c. I take pictures with important people! (I go out of my way to get a pic with these people)
d. See how many vacations I go to! (I go on vacation so that I can share pics in facebook)
e. Don't you think I have to be smart or cool to say these things? (I am not sure so I have to keep trying smart sounding statements or quotes)
f. I am different! (Yes you can!)
g. I am having so much fun!!! (I want people to perceive that my life is great)
h. I am a great photographer! (I don't have a life so I take pictures of dumb things)

i. All of above and I need to get affirmation from others to assert that the above statements may be remotely true.

Welcome to the Facebook generation, who have the perfect tool to indulge in their self righteous and self agrandizing needs so inherent to normal and regular human beings. Sorry you are not exceptional no matter what kind of publicity stunt you come up with!
