A scientific study has revealed that couples who regularly share romantic photos on social media tend to be less happy than those who don’t. Here’s why…
Couples kissing, couples smiling in front of yet another sunset, couples who seem happy but maybe aren’t. A very widespread phenomenon, that of romantic photos posted on social media, which in reality could hide feelings of insecurity and relational fragility.
This is confirmed not by yet another rumor, but by one scientific research at the University of Kansasaccording to which couples are used to sharing romantic posts online they tend to be more dissatisfied compared to those who do not do it regularly. Despite appearances.
Social media themselves would have a negative impact on the relationship, especially when one of the two partners does not share the tendency towards virtual overexposure: in fact, many people do not like their partner revealing too many details about their intimate life online.
Also interesting in this regard are: results of a survey launched by the online photography community “Skotkit”, which interviewed more than 2000 people, aged between 18 and 50, in a relationship.
Participants were asked to rate their relationship in terms of intimacy, communication and trust, and to indicate the amount of “couple content” they shared online.
It was thus discovered that 52% of the interviewees regularly published couple photos online, i.e. 3 times a week or more, 16% only once a week, while the rest of the interviewees occasionally (24%) or never (8 %).
Well, only 10% of those who posted regularly described their relationship as “very happy”compared to 46% of those who never (never or almost never) shared online content.
Of course, one cannot lump everything together, but it is undeniable that there are couples who use social media to show off a happiness that is more fake than real, perhaps out of a spirit of competition or the need to hide their fragilities.
