A TRUE FACEBOOKER OR RATHER INSTAGRAMMER?
This is what your social media says about you
If I haven't posted on Instagram for a day, I get restless. And I check it at least seventeen times a day. I really enjoy using Facebook for business, but Renske is a diehard Facebooker (proof). If you want to stay updated on the most talked-about things in life, you need to form a close friendship with Rens, because she channels all the exciting and newsworthy stuff to your timeline. Renske finds Instagram difficult, more distant, and with far fewer reactions. Hence, let’s start the rapapaa, this overview of what your social media says about you.
The Twitter User
You have an opinion and it needs to be heard. You love being the spider in the web, connecting people and enjoying clubs. You probably also have a book club, a cooking club, and a dining club. And a little group with a funny name that only the club members understand. You are up to date with the news, follow everything, and have strong opinions about it. You also have Twitter friends. People you have never met in real life but with whom you are totally on the same wavelength. Maybe sometimes you feel a bit lonely on the couch without a partner or kids and find a surrogate family in Twitter. Others might find it silly or sad, but what do you care, you’re having fun.
The Facebooker
You love to tell things as they are and appreciate an honest reflection of the facts. You have no time for that polished Instagram nonsense. You are the tell-it-like-it-is type and photograph the full laundry basket when you get home or the overflowing kitchen counter after a dinner party. You also enjoy sharing lengthy stories with your Facebook friends, so you might write a nice long post about how difficult it is that your dog has passed away or that your sister is moving abroad. Those kinds of things. You know everything about your former classmates and are completely up to date on your friends' vacations. And of course, you like everything.
The Instagrammer
You love a polished version of reality. You photograph it in such a way that the trash can is just out of sight, and you definitely apply a few filters. You can easily spend seven minutes on a photo and don’t mind if your food gets cold because you’re still searching for the right angle. You think about the rhythm of your profile, the colors of your photos, and there must be a little caption too. You mainly follow people on Instagram who inspire you. This is not the medium to find out if your neighbor's daughter has passed her A diploma, no, here we see Lizzy van der Ligt in cool places striking model poses. You really don’t like everything, actually only what you truly enjoy. Doutzen already gets 30,000 likes per photo, so you only click the heart if it really moves you. Instagram is generally positive, and you appreciate that. You simply love the beautiful side of life. You know that trash can is indeed there and that less pleasant things happen in your life, but you prefer to keep that to yourself. Here by the way, the checklist of 13 signs that indicate whether you are addicted to Instagram.
The Snapchatter
You don’t really suffer from stage fright or false modesty. You throw yourself into the spotlight. Hatsekiedee. The most narcissistic snapchatter is without exception Chiara Ferragni. That woman truly suffers from a terminal form of self-overestimation and often doesn’t even bother to talk on Snapchat. She squeaks and moves in front of the camera, and you are supposed to be very happy about that. As a snapchatter, you are aware of the total transience of your posts, so it doesn’t have to be all neat and tidy. Here you show the real you, and it can be a bit messier and sloppier than on Instagram. And you have a good laugh at your funny filters that you then happily show to non-snapchatters who, in turn, understand nothing of it....
