Data published in the personality magazine Journal of Research shows that human behavior in social media may be an indicator that something is a bit too.
Dependence on social media transcends difficult use. This includes behavior, such as compulsive inspection, whether there are any updates, adverse effects are not reduced and relying on online interaction due to emotional satisfaction.
This behavior can cause problems in real life-including sleep problems, reduced direct interaction and poor work or academic results.
The team tried to investigate not only whether narcissism and addiction are linked, but also how they can affect each other over time.

They first identified six forms of narcissism: admiration, competition, hostility, isolation, heroism and holiness.
The study sample consisted of 339 adults aged 19 to 41, living in Poland. They all completed several evaluations, answered questions about the use of their social media, and filled in identified narcissism and social network dependence on Instagram, Facebook and Tikaok.
The results showed that individuals who have earned high profits in almost all form of narcissism – except holiness – also reported a higher level of dependence on social media.

However, the dynamics between the two differed depending on the type of narcissism.
Those who have heroism, admiration and competition had what the researchers called “mutual” connection to addiction.
When one rose, the other tended to decline over time, which indicates that dynamics may alternately alternately alternately replace the ego -oriented behavior and forced social media. This is a hint of the inner fight between admiration and the consequences of addiction.

In contrast, hostility (hostile, antagonistic form of narcissism) and isolation (withdrawal and cold) observed synchronously with social media addiction. When use was mistaken, these darker narcissistic features were also the other way around.
This indicates that these traits can actually worsen the addiction or nourish it with a continuous loop.
So what does that mean for an ordinary user?
If someone is constantly glued to their phone, obsessed with their favorite and followers, they may not only be dependent on their own feed – they can also reveal something about their personality.
And if their behavior seems to be determined by the need for admiration or marked by antagonism, you may look at the narcissistic model.
Of course, the researchers are cautious about that their investigation was based solely on the independent report, which means that some conclusions may affect how honest participants appreciated their behavior and traits.
However, the study opens up a charming window at how our online habits reflect our inner worlds.
So when you find yourself next time, can’t anyone stop refreshing that Instagram channel, it may be worth asking: Is it just a bad habit or something worse?
