That's fair, but it's not just about whether people are doing it. It's about how they present what they are doing.

  "How?" Are you saying that narcissism is a technique?

    I'm saying the presentation is a symptom of the purpose. In my opinion, social media are not designed to share ideas or experiences, but rather, as a means to seek approval from others. I think that somebody who Instagrams his trip is more likely to be doing so because he wants others to see what he's doing and judge him on it, rather than so that he can document the trip for himself. But that's only my opinion and not a matter of objective knowledge.

      That's pretty misanthropic and betrays a naive concept of narcissism.
