Social networks are an important part of our lives and Instagram is no exception. We post on Instagram to tell about ourselves, our experiences, sometimes even friends. But when a friend never posts us on Instagram, is it a reason to be upset?
It depends on the people and the relationship. For example, Kiara Tito openly shared that one of the reasons why she thought that Efi had not supported her journey in "Big Brother" was the fact that the latter had not posted a photo/video on Instagram Stories.
A part of the conversation between former friends:
Efi: "I was the biggest supporter of her love."
Kiara: "You?! You haven't thrown a Story with me."
Efi: "Why should I throw Story? Is this how I show love? I threw when they tagged us both."
Kiara: "We're chatting on Instagram right now, but really it's some small details, you see a lot of things."
Let's move on to the question: Should we be upset if our friend doesn't post us on Instagram?
First, it's important to remember that Instagram is not real life. Just because someone doesn't post about you on Instagram doesn't mean they don't value your friendship. Social media can often create a distorted view of reality, and it's easy to think that if something isn't posted on Instagram, it didn't happen.
Second, everyone has different preferences when it comes to social media. Some people prefer not to post too much on Instagram or may have personal reasons for not posting about certain things. Just because your friend doesn't post about you doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't care about you.
Thirdly, communication is also important. If this issue bothers you, talk to your friends. They may not realize that you are hurt. But you can't jump to conclusions without talking first.
Finally, it's important to remember that social media isn't everything. Your value as a person and the value of friendship with someone is not determined if they post about you on Instagram. There are many other ways to show that you value someone's friendship.
