Your girlfriend is pressuring you to put pictures of the two of you on social media for validation.
It lets her know that you are taking her seriously, and to such an extent, you are sharing these pictures with your followers, and by default, the world at large.
She gets reassurance that she is in a committed relationship with you, quelling her insecurities.
As is with many women, she has an active social media presence.
Social media is a principal part of her life.
She posts all kinds of pictures on her social media, including those of herself with friends, family, pets, doing hobbies, and having fun on her travels.
Whenever she posts, she gets a dopamine rush as she receives likes and comments on said posts.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain that is released to permeate pleasure through the body.
As the dopamine rushes through her, she is filled with unadulterated pleasure.
In turn, she wants to make additional posts to keep that pleasurable feeling coming.
This is a significant reason why women especially are so addicted to social media.
The pressure she is putting on you to put these pictures on your social media isn’t satiated should you choose to post a few pictures for the short term.
It is a lifestyle change.
Since you do not use your account much, you clearly aren’t all that active on social media.
Should you choose to give in to the pressure and post these pictures on your social media, know that your girlfriend from that point on expects you to become more active on your social media.
She expects you to develop an attitude that is much closer to hers in regards to how she uses social media.
The relative freedom you have experienced thus far, in not having to worry about posting pictures of the activities you do with your girlfriend over the week or weekend to your social media, is about to dwindle.
She wants you to post pictures of you two as a couple more frequently to your social media.
This is where you are posting pictures to your social media that were taken when you were hanging out by the pool over the weekend, went out to dinner, or took the dog out for a walk, as a couple.
Keep in mind that in giving in to the current pressure she is putting on you, the burden of having to document your relationship with her by taking pictures in the moment, shifts from being solely hers to being shared.
Are you ready for this?
Are you ready to have that camera on the ready, prepared to use it at any given moment, when all you want to do is enjoy the moment?
There is a reason why you aren’t all that active on social media.
Are you ready to have a relationship that you share with people online, most of whom are strangers?
Thus far, she has been the one posting pictures of the two of you on her social media and you haven’t had to do much in that department.
That changes, should you choose to give in to the pressure she is putting on you.
