I asked google...here's what she told me.

The frequent DP changers

"People who keep on changing their profile pictures are insecure, lack in confidence and are often very flippant in their decisions. Such people are also found to be suspicious and don't trust others easily. Some even show traits of split personality and always remain dissatisfied with their decisions," said psychologist Amool Ranjan. "This trait shows that a person is suffering from identity crisis and actually wants to explore himself in the views of others. They are also attention seekers," said another psychologist Kaptan Singh Sengar.

Those with pictures of celebrities

Said Ranjan, "It shows that the person is carefree. Such people like to idolize others and are not too successful in life. They are not confident and often seek other's opinions. They are introvert and are hesitant in disclosing their personal matters." Sengar added, "Usually such individuals' world is very limited. Their desire and wishes remain hidden somewhere deep within. By uploading someone else's picture, they feel projected. They are dreamers and like to remain in the fantasy world."

Those who upload intimate photos

"Such people are usually attention seekers and are insecure in their relationships. They suffer from inferiority complex. To conceal it, they try and be more expressive," shared Ranjan. Said Sengar, "This behaviour shows sheer immaturity and urge to seek attention. Such people lack in self esteem and can hardly be trustworthy in relationships. It also shows that they have suffered setback in relationships at some point of their lives."

Users of slang in status messages

Said Ranjan, "They are frustrated souls who have faced lots of failures and criticism in life. So to compensate that they hurt others by being offensive. They might be weak in their communication skills. They try and make it up by being offensive." Another psychologist, Suprakash Chaudhary said, "It shows the amount of failure they have faced in life. To make up for it, they use social media as the medium to abuse masses at one go without being subjected to legal proceedings."

Frequent status message changers

"In a bid to sound expressive and extrovert, people keep on updating their status messages. Sometimes they even end up revealing their private lives. But it just shows how much of an inferiority complex the person has. In such a case, the views of others matter more and that shows a lack of self-confidence. Such people are weak in their judgmental abilities. They can never stick to their decisions," said Ranjan. Chaudhary said this trait can be seen as part of being defensive. "Such people believe in saying more but end up doing little. They are bad adjudicators," he said.

Those always on busy mode

Said Ranjan, "Some people do it purposely. But when it becomes a habit, it shows a person's social withdrawal symptoms. They don't want to interact with people or are only concerned about their own interests." On this trait, Chaudhary said, "Such netizens don't need society's approval. They are not bothered about rules and regulation and live life on their terms. But sometimes the continued ignorance may lead to depression."

Gothic art as DP

Said Ranjan, "Such people are complex and mysterious. It's very difficult to understand them and that's what they enjoy. They are reserved and don't share too much with people. They try to solve their problems themselves." Sengar agreed, saying, "Though the person might be perfectly alright, they always feel they aren't well. These people are concerned about their physical appearances. That's the reason they often find faults with their health."

RickRichards:
Yes, it's your personal business, but most mature people rarely have time for DPs. I used to change my DP very often, but now with business and all, I only change it like once or twice a month. The urge to even change it is really non-existent these days. I also do not chat anymore. It's like if it ain't about money, you ain't saying nothing. That kinda thing.

femi4:
R.okiatu on my mind, she love changing her nl dp like kilode. I can only imagine how frequent she changes her phone dp

PRYCE:
I think those who constantly change their DP's are textbook narcissists!

Kachisbarbie:
This topic alongside some memes has been trending on my bbm/whatsapp. It's fast becoming a trite cliche, people tag changing of display pictures with immaturity. It's common here on NL too.

Isn't one's display picture supposed to be his/her personal business or a means of self-expression/admiration?

What's your say?

Beamborla:
I don't even know where I fall.


I think those who are always changing their pictures are just obsessed with themselves and are in need of aproval

Macmilla:

Why don't you mind your business?

I just don't understand some ppl.
The picture, mine.
The bbm id, mine.
The phone, mine.
The data, I paid for.
If I change my dp 100 times a day, whose business is it? Mine.
If I change it once a year, still my business.
Ppl should just learn to start minding their business.

softysparky:

My dp, my pictures, my profile, my business.

what am I supposed to do with all the pictures on my phone

What ever you know how to do, do it without caring with people would say. Write epistles, use smileys, flaunt nyash, flaunt boobi.....
As the spirit leads.

InZA:
A lady that changes dp regularly wouldn't make a good wife... Honestly, there's are many things I find unsettling about a lady that changes her dp every 30mins. One of such is the suggestion that she's a noise maker in real life.... and I can't stand a woman who makes noise. There's this drop living gorgeous lady on my bbm, I had been nursing the idea of sending her my application (if you think I'm talking about a job you're on a long thing). But I noticed this lady changes dp like every 30mins, I thought it was a one off thing so I was ready to let it slide, but later on I realized it was a habit.... Suffice to say, I used the application paper to wrap akara


At the very basic level excessive dp changing reeks of inferiority complex, I can say so because I used to deal with it too but mine was not dp changing, rather it was putting my "bbm songs" on so that my contacts could see what I was playing because I wanted them to validate my taste in good songs, more so because I played only christian songs. But later on, I just had to be truthful to myself.


MizMyColi.... Your honesty is a virtue worth celebrating... and as it's said in my church- I celebrate you

redcliff:


I used to like to put my songs on display for others but it wasnt evem because i wanted to seek approval or something. I just want them to feel the songs im feeling too and also to know i have good taste in music (which i do and theres no disputing that) and about a woman changing her dp all the time, i may not find it much of a problem especially of she is a studwnt or something but what disgust me is someome who updates everything that happens to them in their display messages and guys who are change dps like women.

Nneka123:
I only change my DP when i feel happy , and it doesn't necessarily mean to impress someone or anything like that.

It could be anything, i will upload it, because it's my profile, and i can do anything i want with it.

It could be days, weeks or months.
