Want to validate what you said about your reasons for chosen any particular dp

InZA:


It's the little things that often feed the biggest wahala. A woman that changes her dp more than is necessary has her priorities misplaced, it's simply as simple as that and I don't want to marry a woman with misplaced priorities.

Trust me, I can't lose the woman meant for me because of my distaste for the habit of changing dps, because in the first place if she's meant for me, she wouldn't be changing dps as often as the word "change" was used in APC's campaign.

U fine small sha..But u dint flaunt anything now.

MizMyColi:
Well personally, I stopped uploading my DP on NL because I found that I kept visiting my profile.
Checking out the number of likes, and if I found that the likes weren't as forthcoming, I'd take it down and change to another.
It even got more annoying when my "hard earned" likes got subtracted as a result of the new picture.

I told myself the hard truth, that in addition to people's general approval of my comments, I wanted them to approve my face too.
And with each picture I uploaded, I somehow felt inadequate.
Those times turned out to be my first real practical lessons on self acceptance/approval.


Second and most important.....despite my openness as an individual, I am not always comfortable with the fact that my face is out there.
The longest lasting DP I ever used on this forum was one where I had my face downwards, staring right into my bag.

So, yes, I think that most times...when we upload and upload different styles and pictures of ourselves, we trying to fill a void.... #HardTruthThough

That said, my thoughts aren't an absolute.
Different strokes, Different folks.

This topic is irrelevant! Maturity is measured by our actions and way of handling whatever life throws at us and not by some random picture stuff.

No o. That telemundo as a guy you would have watched it one time when it made so much sense back in the 2000s. But any guy watching it now should be executed

Macmilla:
Very soon, I will be called immature and insecure for changing my clothes everyday.


Pathetic Nigerians

femi4:
You ve used less of your pictures. You are more concerned in showing people the state of your mind

InZA:


Errrrrr... Well, I remember back in the day I watched "Wild rose" "The secrets of the sands", and some others, but I was a teenager then, so it was somewhat acceptable.... But how can a guy in his 30s be sitting down to watch telemundo . Such a repulsive sight

0ldirtybastard:


You don't fall in any of those, ms.

softysparky:
I no get anything naaa.

ShirelleBaby:



I watched 'SECRETS OF THE SAND'-still in primary school then but I enjoyed it a lot.

Ruth and Rachel(Raquel)--
Sweet memories.
Mulheres de Areia.

MizMyColi:


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."
