Showing off is human nature, don't be too restrained.

The circle of friends is really one of the inventions that understand human nature best.

Since we have a circle of friends, everyone is keen to expose their lives in the circle of friends. Eating, working, traveling, studying, waiting for the bus, getting lost, bored, busy, happy, sad, insomnia, sleepwalking, etc.

This is the state of our life now.

In fact, the circle of friends is basically acquaintances. When I send it, I mainly show off. If you look at my study, I am more motivated than you. Look at me enjoying the sunshine in California, which is more nourishing than working overtime every day. Seeing me get married is to give single dog ten thousand crits. ...

Don't be shy, that's who you are, and so am I.

However, there is nothing wrong with showing off. On the one hand, getting a full screen of praise can enhance your self-confidence. On the other hand, showing off is human nature and there is no need to be too restrained.

I read an article yesterday, which mentioned that from the perspective of biological evolution, there is no practical benefit for people to evolve from a quadruped to two legs. Two legs can't run four legs, so wild animals can easily catch up. However, the progress of mankind has developed rapidly because of the liberation of hands after walking on two legs. Because our upper body is exposed when we can stand, it is easier for us to show off our muscles to our opponents and scare them away, and we don't have to fight to determine who is the winner. This reduces the cost of winning. Now we know why gorillas beat their chests when they are angry in movies about gorillas. This is why showing off helps human beings survive in a low-cost way, so it is an instinct of human beings.

In modern times, you don't need to show off your muscles to survive, but the genes that show off still exist. We often say that a person is insecure. They are worried that they will get hurt, meet bad people, be rejected by everyone and be looked down upon. If you show off properly, you can add an umbrella to yourself.

For example, those who live in a well-off society but want luxury goods hope to attract more people's attention and attention through luxury goods. They hope to be the object of envy and the topic of discussion, so luxury goods are the muscles on the trunk of primitive human beings.

I know a girl who loves cooking and taking pictures. I will make myself a beautiful breakfast every day. Cook breakfast for 5 minutes, set the table for 5 minutes, take photos for 5 minutes, retouch the picture 10 minutes, and eat for 3 minutes. Every day, a photo that is full of appetite and can wake up your taste buds appears in her circle of friends, with the phrase "Happiness is just a simple breakfast for yourself". I will get a lot of praise and complaints immediately after I send it.

"Oh, I really envy you. I was crowded in the subway and smelled the leek box that my eldest brother ate this morning. " ,

Goddess, your life really has a sense of quality, and I really want to be like you.

Wow, did you make this? You really have an appetite.

Girl, I have the opportunity to treat you to breakfast.

……

She looked at her mobile phone, wiped her mouth with satisfaction and went out to squeeze the bus.

Occasionally, she has heard some friends around her complain that she likes to show off and show off. Why not eat an egg with a loaf of bread? But she didn't care, and she still woke up her circle of friends with a beautiful breakfast picture the next day.

One day a few months later, she received an application from a WeChat friend. The other party said that she is the person in charge of a food app. Because she was interested in seeing these pictures of food taken by her friends, they were looking for the editor-in-chief of the pictures, so they wanted to ask her if she was interested. Such a good opportunity, she thought about it, doing what she likes every day, without being at the mercy of the leader every day, and her salary is higher than before. Why not? So she accepted the opportunity of this career.

Now she not only shows off breakfast every day, but also can't stop her from eating three meals a day. In her circle of friends, there are always delicious photos. Slowly in her circle, I visited my personal brand, and everyone would think of her when they mentioned food.

There has always been a famous saying in society that people should keep a low profile. But the times are changing, the environment is changing, and the thinking is also changing. This is no longer the era of "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley". This is an era of self-display and self-achievement. We don't live for others, but what we ultimately pursue is to live high.

You can show off, at least it means you have something to show off. You can show off if you shoot well, show off if you write well, show off if you have a good figure, and show off if you have the ability and skills. At the same time, you can motivate yourself, constantly strengthen your specialties, and form a personal label and brand. This is the talent model that the future society needs. For example, many people are monitoring themselves every day when they punch in, run or learn English in their circle of friends, and many people have developed good habits in this way.

If you really don't want to show off, then you can choose "only you can see" in your circle of friends.
