What about us can tell the photos we post on the Internet? About what hidden complexes or secret desires, even if we do not understand it ourselves, do they tell others? We analyzed the most common types of photos on social networks.
1. Different selfies (in a mirror, in an elevator, etc.)
Abundance of self on the pages in social networks shows that a person needs recognition and approval of others too much. He is self-centered, vain and inclined towards narcissism.
2. Sexy Selfies
Attractively emphasized body contours and, of course, duck face ... Your message to the whole world: "I am a free and ready-to-experiment woman." Think about whether it's worthwhile to all openly show that you are in search of using your body as a bait? Do you really think that men who are looking for a relationship will take you seriously?
3. Photo with a partner
This is a demonstration of your relationship and that you consider them serious and long-term. This is the way to tell the world: "I'm not alone, they love me, I need someone and have been appreciated by me."
If your social networks are filled with similar photos, this is an occasion to reflect. Why do you need this? What do you want to tell other people about these photos? Maybe this is a hidden need to brag to the former (former) or advantageous look against the background of less fortunate friends?
4. Group photo
If most of the photos in your account are grouped and they are screaming about how much fun you are having when spending time with friends, this can indicate inner emptiness and loneliness. In addition, these photos can also say that belonging to a group grants your self-esteem. You tell the world: "I was chosen, I became part of this group, and it is encouraging."
5. Children
There are two options. If you share your own children's photos or use them as a profile image, this may mean that you are tired of adulthood: from all these responsibilities, bank loans and mortgages. Such photos show a subconscious desire to return to childhood, when others cared about you. "Take me on the handles and stroke over the head," these photographs scream.
The second option is when you share photos of your children or with them. By this, you seem to say: "I am a mother, and this is my most important achievement."
6. Animals and photos with animals
If this is a photographer's account, photos that depict wild animals in their natural habitat are evidence of his professionalism. However, if a person uses the image of a wild wolf or an elegant cheetah as the main profile photo, it means he wants to appear bold and strong, although in reality it is not.
Women, as a rule, post nice photos, such, for example, as charming puppies, rabbits, kittens. Also, you can often see common photos with cute animals. Such posts indicate the sentimentality and immaturity of the account holder.
7. Nature
Again, we are not talking about the accounts of professional photographers. But if there are a lot of landscape photos on your page, this can indicate satisfaction with life. You seem to say that your life was a success and now you can admire nature. Nevertheless, this can also indicate fatigue from the feverish daily pace of life, the need for seclusion.
8. Glamorous photos
The abundance of such photos in the profile indicates that its owner needs the support of others and needs emotional "blows" in the form of laudatory comments. You should think about self-esteem and try to find alternative ways to increase it, so as not to depend on the virtual world.
9. Tourist photos
For some people, photos from trips indicate a desire to emphasize their social status (or aspiration for it). "Look how and where I can afford to rest," such photos say.
As for others, such photos can be "physical evidence" of the reality of the trip, feelings and emotions that they experienced. This is a kind of confirmation that you have reached a place that millions of other people have already visited, but you were there for the first time, and this is your personal achievement.
10. Photos on the background of yachts, luxury cars or luxury goods
This is a way to tell the world about your success (often imaginary or desired) to emphasize social status and state: "My life is beautiful!".
11. Photos of food
It's not about professional photo food bloggers. In an ordinary person's account, a photo of exquisite food from an expensive restaurant is an attempt at self-affirmation and social self-promotion. And if this photo is from a profile of a woman who is on maternity leave or is a housewife, then this is the desire to prove (in the first place to herself) that her life is as interesting as the rest.
12. Extreme photos
The photo of jumping with a parachute, the conquest of mountain peaks or waves show the world truly masculine qualities: courage, strength, reliability, endurance.
Nevertheless, if you go to extremes and do selfies on tops of skyscrapers, on the roof of a train or with predators, this indicates the need for recognition, as well as the desire to feel alive. Young people can literally get hooked on the emotions of fear and pleasure that they experience when doing extreme selfies. Close people should pay attention to this hobby.
13. Your funny pictures
Apparently, the owner of the account stands out with self-confidence and it does not alienate the feeling of self-irony, because to publish photos that you look ridiculous, you need to have the courage. This is especially true if you are a woman. Or maybe you are just laughing to hide your problems from others?
14. Photos in the office
If the account contains many photographs from the office or simply in an official setting, this indicates that professional life is very important to a person and he is undoubtedly full of ambitious plans. For the owner of such a page it is important to show as many people as possible that he is a high-class professional.
15. Objects, models, parts of the whole
Such photographs show that a person wants to show his own non-standard thinking. Similar photos also testify to the creative nature and the developed aesthetic flair.
16. Real photos without filters and Photoshop
Such photographs say that a person perceives himself as he is. The same conclusion can be applied in the event that a person does not change his photo for several years. This indicates the stability of views, moral maturity, as well as the lack of the need to publish your photos on social networks to get emotional "stroking" in the form of likes and compliments.
Such people use social networks to communicate with friends or for work, and do not perceive them as an opportunity to show themselves in all its glory. They prefer not to take pictures and share them, but to enjoy them in real life.
