It has nearly become a sort of unwritten law for couples to post pictures on social media. If they are not together, one tags the other with a billion lovey-dovey captions.
If you are not careful, you may become jealous of their relationship, even if you don’t personally know the couple. However, at some point, the pictures quickly disappear, and you are tempted to seek answers because you had invested plenty of bundles in their relationship.
On that note, you wonder what happened. Didn’t they seem happy together? Didn’t the relationship almost look death would only do them part?
The glamour and seemingly idyllic front social media couples seem to front is often smoke in mirrors. The happiest couples are those that don’t post their pictures because:
They don’t seek validation from anyone
Truth is people who post pictures on social media at unusual frequency are seeking some sort of validation. Couples included. They want the world to see how perfect they are, and how they deeply love each other. Those who don’t post are comfortable within their own skins and do not want the virtual world to clap for being in love with each other.
They enjoy each other’s company
Couples who don’t post on social media enjoy each other’s company way too much to remember to take pictures. They don’t think about the outside world, but their world – a world they define on their own terms.
They have attained the age of maturity
On an honest note, those who post pictures of themselves are still one level below maturity. Mature people do not see the need to bombard strangers with their lives. Social media is for teenagers in their first relationships, and are out discovering the marvels and heartaches that love brings about.
