Social media behaviour can speak volumes about your personal life, unless of course, you’ve aced ways to fake it so well, that no one has an inkling about the real deal. But not everyone can put up a charade 24×7, especially if you’re the pro-active kind. Think about it, you must’ve noticed it yourself… when a friend is angry, there are aggressive statuses, angry-face emojis and rants or outbursts. Everybody can guess– “This one’s having a bad day!”
What if we told you social media behaviour can reveal way more than just a mood. Sometimes, if you pick up on the right signs and moves, you can get to the bottom of much more.
Is your guy acting up? Have you been expecting him to make a not-so-lovable move? Are you instincts telling you he might say those dreadful words, “We need to talk”. His social media might just confirm your inkling.
Here are 5 social media signs to pick up on that are likely to establish the truth…
1. He has stopped uploading pictures with you
If your man and you are going through some turbulence, and he completely stops putting up any pictures with you, or posts tagging you – that’s a major red signal! More so, if he’s the kind who used to do it frequently.
2. He flirts with other women openly
If he’s sliding into other women’s DM’s and leaving “cute” comments on their pictures AND has no qualms about it, need we say more? Unless it’s a close friend, or someone you know he shares that kind of rapport with, it’s not cool and definitely falls under the he’s-going-to-break-your-heart social media behaviour category!
3. He never stalks you on social media
Now we’re not talking about being obsessed. But everyone likes to know that their partner knows what they’re up to on social media, even if it’s every now and then. However, if your man never makes the effort to keep your notifications on, or to visit your profile once in a while, if he doesn’t even care to view your stories or put a ‘like’ on your status, is he even your guy?
4. He gets antsy when you touch his phone
If he jumps to attention every time you ask to see his FB or Insta profile on his phone, he’s surely up to no good. While keeping your phone miles away from your partner at all times, is a classic sign of cheating, this isn’t very far from that. If there’s really nothing to hide or be worried about, why hide?
5. He fights when you spend too much time on social media
Now this is a tricky one, and has more to do with something you may be doing wrong. If he’s expressed agitation every time you’re scrolling on the ‘Gram, he’s probably sick and tired of how much you use your phone. While this can be considered as controlling, another way to look at it is that his threshold of patience is very low. He’s probably on the verge of willing to lose you to your phone/social media addiction, and it’s a good time for you to do some damage control!
