Let’s be honest, we all have one or several friends who always post their activity on Facebook. Or, worse, maybe that person is you.
“I ran 15 kilometers today before going to work!” it can be motivating to read in the morning, or downright annoying, depending on your morning mood.
Researchers from Brunel University in London have conducted a study that shows why people share every exercise on social networks. The results are truly amazing.
Dependent on attention and self-confidence.
People who always document their physical activity tend to be narcissistic.
According to the researchers, their main goal is to show how much time they invest in looks. However, these posts get more likes than any other type of post.
“Narcissists posted more frequently about their achievements, which was motivated by a need for attention and recognition from the Facebook community,” the study concluded.
The high number of likes, not necessarily means that every person likes to see these bragging posts.
So unless you get creative with your workouts, it’s best to keep these fitness progress posts to yourself. Society will thank you!
