It has to do with craving for attention and being self absorbed, nothing else. The more someone posts his/her personal life on social media, the more egotistical and self absorbed this person is. It's screaming for attention, not 'confessing' your life to others. They only post what makes them look good and leave everything else out. Quite the opposite of a confession, it's an empty front without any meaning or importance to others - only for yourself. It's very sad and pathetic.

Social media gives everyone an instant 'fanbase'

Wasn't there a recent study that showed heavy social media use leads to higher incidents of psychotic breaks?
