You're doing it all wrong. What I also don't like is the lack of sharing. When I see people taking photos of me with a selfie, I always say "I'm on your side". But when I take an Instagram photo, everyone who saw the photo sees "this poor guy". I don't give a fuck about it. I just want to share my awesome adventures together with people I love. The whole point of the Instagram was just that it is easier. We can see each other and share our experience!

I've been saying this for 30 years, and it's been proved that I'm the outlier, but think collecting pictures of one's self, especially standing in front of things, is weird. I theoretically understand sending pictures of yourself in exotic places or having fun with friends as proof that you go to places and have friends, but my actual friends just believe me when I tell them that I went somewhere and I know people.
