1) As it turns out, narcissism is not a permanent personality trait, but rather a display
dependent mainly on the environment. Consequently, media can — and does —
influence how much of a narcissist we are. For instance, a recent study on the
exposure of narcissistic reality TV characters on viewers proved that people exposed
to narcissistic reality TV presented higher levels of narcissism shortly afterwards.
However, what is more concerning is that more studies have found contrasting life
goals and habits of young people with those of Baby Boomers — the generation born
from 1946 to 1964. Younger generations are more likely to value appearance, fame,
and money over self-acceptance and fellowship.

3) It does not come as a surprise that platforms created for sharing your content and
connecting with people put a focus on the self, which can eventually transform into
self-obsession and self-admiration. This phenomenon goes way beyond people taking
too many selfies and treating each life event and situation as a major self-promoting
opportunity. People desperately put #likeforlike and #follow4follow hashtags below
their Instagram photos. The need for validation is so ingrained that it has generated
an entire exchange “economy” where people sell themselves out to other users,
offering to reciprocate insincere engagement with more insincere engagement. The
saddest part is that this feeling of low self-worth does not matter as long as that tiny
ego-affirming notification pops up on their screens.
