Why Are You So Obsessed With You?

So going through high school you have those friends that are really into themselves, then you get to college, and you have that friend who has similiar tendencies to your friend in high school.
They can't stop talking about themselves 24/7. You honestly start to wonder if they ever think about anything other than their life. Like all the time.
So naturally, you give yourself some space from them because you feel suffocated by their life and all their "problems." But it seems like everywhere you go you can't really escape this type of friend anymore, because they are everywhere.
When I got to USC, at first I felt like okay there's some really good looking people at this school of course they are into themselves. But then it got to a point where I was like WOW THIS GUY IS HUMILATING. They would be taking selfies during class and in between classes and on weekends and at the school gym/library/Starbucks. It was ALL THE TIME. 24/7.

These type of people only go out so they can post an Instagram about their "insane" night spent on their phone and not even socializing with anyone but thereselves and their iPhones. One night, I even had a friend say she wanted to go home because she forgot her phone at home, she was so on edge and couldn't relax without it. It was like a drug, I remember feeling like wow can she really not socialize without a phone? How sad.

I like to go out to meet new friends, toss a few back, hit the dance floor and maybe get into super intense conversations about anything and everything. Usually when I'm out I try to take a couple pics because duh. I love to look back at times and be like dangggg that was a good night! But I am not addicted to my phone, AT ALL. If anything, I'm addicted to the music and my friends.
What I wanna know is, when did everyone get so obsessed with themselves? I get a lot of girls like to get ready and take pictures with their friends, thats something that has been done for eons. But what really freaks me out is the guys that are out there taking 30+ selfies of themselves with a duckface and their shirt off. It's really concerning to me!

So now girls have amped up their social media game, by posting nearly naked photos of themselves to be in competition with these sex-symbol type guys. Call me old-fashioned but what happened to leaving some things up to the imagination? The only things I can think of is when I see a 20 year old girl in lingerie on Instagram is what would their grandma say if she saw that photo?! LOL.
So many girls I know get so upset after every guy turns the other way when things start to get serious and he doesn't wanna be tied down. It makes me sad to see my friends sad. But ladies! You don't need to try so hard. There is something unique about every girl and that is what guys love about you. I don't know about a lot of things but I can tell you one thing for sure, guys like confidence they don't like easiness. If all your goodies are out there on the social media world for everyone to see then he don't want it if it's that easy
And guys, if your posting more selfies than a 13-year old girl, maybe try picking up a hobby that doesn't include shirtless snapchatting 24/7....

So who is feeling me on this subject?
You know you love me.
Xoxo,
A Guy's Girl
