Well, I have seen people on facebook adding their selfies with some weird hashtags. Some hashtags doesn't even make sense.
They dont understand it is so annoying for the people who see it.

After watching the video I was able to classify myself as a Vulnerable Narcissist. Thanks for making the video

I'm so pleased you have posted this, I don't believe we talk enough about NPD and yet these people are so toxic, many of us know someone like this. Narcissists and those who suffer from NPD crave recognition/attention to a point it becomes an obsession for some. Social media is a tool to increase the volume and frequency of exposing oneself to detrimental levels of self- indulgence and for some, provide opportunities to put down and bully others. I believe narcissists know what they're doing, in extreme cases, malignant narcissists deliberately do things to hurt others with some psychotic tendencies. Do they know how others see them? I'm not sure. Their view of themselves is often so skewed, everyone else is wrong so I don't think they'd care what others thought anyway. My concern is our kids won't develop from healthy 'self indulged' children into mature, empathetic caring human beings. Seeing masses of people acting selfishly doesn't help, neither do role models like Kim Kardashian.

In my country we have some reality shows about ¿"physical challenges"?, the participants are the center of a lot of magazines, soup operas, news and they, actually, thinks that are the most important thing in the country. Meanwhile, all kind of cultural tv show is less viewed. I dunno, but i think that they do not know how people like me are now see them.

Do you plan on working to not be a vulnerable narcissist

"Traits" rhymes with "ways." Doesn't rhyme with "plates."

It would be great to know what the evidence is for the statement that narcissism has been increasing since the 1970's. It would seem perfectly plausible to think that it is permanent and unchanging throughout history, in which case one would be interested in what makes it expressed differently at different times.
The idea put forward here, that parents and media make it more or less prevalent, is perfectly respectable, in America at least, but respectable doesn't mean true. It is, in fact, a thoroughly debatable proposition, and TED should feel a responsibility to give some evidence for such controversial views.

I'm proud to say that I don't see people with narcissist behaviors in my newsfeed anymore . But I don't think that a narcissist is able to have a clear image of how people see him/her.Most of these people maybe think that other people actually admire them .

"The Warlord on Twitter" is an title introductory title to a twitter handle. The fact that someone is comfortable to be introduced as such on social media without estoppel shows clearly the celebs is okay with it. This is narcissism you talk about.

I think sometimes people need confidence and self-consciousness. it can benefit people who try to make decisions and become decisive. it is not easy to persuade narcissists because they only believe themselves and insist they are right. I really interested in narcissism and I want to understand what narcissists think and act. Thank you for the video ^^

There is a very readable book titled "It's All Your Fault" suggested to me by a therapist as I am dealing with a difficult client population; however, you could be married to a narcissist, live next door to one or have to have interactions with such personalities in business or your job. The author has a law degree and practiced as a LCSW before opening his door as a divorce mediator so he has encountered many narcissistic individuals over his career span.

Well, yes. For example in facebook are many people that want to show all the good things that they have and other people want to have. Selfies doesn´t have anything wrong, but sometimes narcissism overstate, they exceed the limit, and i think that they don´t know how others feel because they only think in themselves.

I think the narcissistic side of everyone comes out on social media. Social media is about expressing one's opinion, talking about one's life, showing the world the image of ourselves we (think we) want it to see. The pathological narcissist is all about showing the world what he/she wants it to see. Unfortunately, it is not that image that does all the damage. I know it is out of scope for this discussion, but the video did allude to the place where damage to others begins to occur: when the narcissist's view is challenged. What many may not realize is the devastating extent of the damage done to the unlucky person who gets close to the pathological narcissist.

Well the desperate ' if you are Really my friend you will repost this and I will count or unfrriend....' Posts are quite telling. But that's so not the worst of it. I am living the worst of it.

Also, I lived with a malignant narcissist for seven years, and it's ten years later and he still finds ways to punish me through our child. People with this disorder are the embodiment of evil and incurable. They will never admit they have done anything wrong and therefore cannot seek change.

People who post very intimate details about their personal relationships/ arguments with people in their lives are clearly narcissistic and only post for extreme reactions from others; Only to later get upset at the reactions they receive. Which clearly means they don't know how others see them.

I believe the narcissistic person do not know that their narcissistic actions in Social Media is ruining other's day because they believe everyone should know what "I" am doing instead of caring their own businesses.

I can see my friends posting pictures of themselves without any meaning with weird words like "I'm so sad" while their faces are smiling. Their friends would then press likes and the one who posted would also press likes for each other. This seems like an exchange of labor. Their narcissistic photos and comments are annoying to who are not involved in their exchange of labor...

Not all of 'em, but some of them know how others see them. Maybe I can I understand lil' bit more since I used to be one of them before to be honest (I didn't post my selfies with pointless hashtags though). anyway, Let's say one girl uploads her selfies with pointless hashtags. And from what I've been seeing so far, they keep uploading their selfies because many other people are keep giving them like or putting comments on there, and it makes them to feel like "well, I'm still being attractive anyway" or "They're still commenting because it's interesting enough!"

Social media are encouraging narcissism by enhancing your self-esteem. The popular method of connecting with people actually detract from a strong sense of self and promote narcissism.Self-promotion in social media is defined as things such as updating their status every five minutes, frequent posting of pictures of themselves, photos of celebrity look-alikes, and quotes and mottos glorifying themselves. People who use Facebook the most, tend to have narcissistic or insecure personalities.

Wait, wasn't the "rising narcissism" theory debunked when psychologists found out that they were conflating narcissism with healthy self-esteem [1] due to flaws with the Narcissistic Personality Inventory [2]? Psychologists have been unable to replicate the trend using other measures of narcissism [3] and even the NPI itself [4], leading some to suggest the much more likely theory that the changes are developmental rather than generational [4, 5].

Narcissists do not care what they look like on social media. They only care that they get attention. Social Media is just another medium for them to gain such attention.

Interesting!

Greg,

I have healthy self-esteem.
You are generally sensible.
They are a bunch of narcissists.

:-)

Cheers,
-dlj.

Actually, I believe they are wrong in saying there is an increase since the 70s. The communal mentality of the 60s was only shared by some and the larger movement was about being free, expressing yourself and getting what you wanted- sex, drugs and rock and roll.

We also see that there have been people all over the world and various societies that we might claim as narcissistic . Rome? Nero, Hitler, Stalin. Sparta? There has always been narcissism. I'm sure it rises and falls to some degree, but it's pretty prevalent. .

I think they do know how people see them but they just don't reply sometimes. Because they are sooo confident about themselves, so they don't even care that much about what others see them or judge them. Maybe they will be angry when don't get people's agreement. However they will try sooo hard to make you think that you're the person who is wrong, not me ~

With social media, it is easier for narcissists to seek for attention from strangers, therefore; it boosts their ego. people who act in a very narcissistic way on social media won't care about how others think because it's all "me me"

No, I guess those people think we love their updates about what they just ate and random pictures. They are annoying.

Students on twitter, pretty much. I see them posting these foul mouthed complaints about stuff that wouldn't even be an issue if they, you know, read the syllabus? But they refuse to take ANY responsibility, even for things (like reading a syllabus) that literally ARE their responsibility, and get so ANGRY when they blame others.

People's online presence is not their personality in the physical world. Social media has been a way of validation in the virtual world. I've yet to meet someone that uses their social media avatar for physical world attention. In fact, it has been the complete opposite. When someone says something on their facebook or twitter account, and I mention it to them, they are embarrassed and regretful. This may because I'm not the person they are trying to get attention from (i.e. - my teenage daughter).

The whole selfie and food pictures trend is huge evidence of a massive trend towards more narssicistic behavior recently. Most people realize that nobody wants to see their lunch, but you can see the people with a problem when they don't get enough attention and freak out.

Miguel,
I love the term "soup operas" in your post.
The original, back in the 1930's or perhaps just a little bit earlier, on radio, was "soap operas." These were radio dramas aimed at housewives at home, and very largely paid for by the advertising of laundry soap and household cleaner companies. Hence "operas" and "soap."
Your "soup" clearly means the modern version of the same thing, on television I imagine -- and emotionally soupy, I would guess.
Are these TV shows sponsored by a soup company, e.g. Heinz or Campbell's, in your country?
Cheers,
-dlj.

Greg,

Excellent post! Yes.

On your fourth point, I'd think there's another possibility, other than developmental or generational: they might be entirely (or merely "almost entirely") imaginary, the upshot of fashion, noise, and the desire of people to have something to say in the course of their professional day.

Much of "pedagogy," the supposed science of education, is this way. There is no factual content, but the people at the front of the room have to have something to say to the people sitting down in the room, so a lot of time gets spent thinking up and writing down stuff for them to say.

Cheers,
-dlj.

It seems they really don't care how others see them because their own distorted sense of self is all that matters to them. If you don't reinforce their perception you are deemed stupid or otherwise inconsequential.

We all have a few of "those friends" who post constantly, or in annoying ways. (Believe me, no one cares what you ordered for dinner, etc.) It makes me feel pity for them. I believe most narcissists don't realize they're "oversharing" or "bragging". It affects my own use of social media - I'm hardly ever on Facebook anymore because, duh. It's also particularly significant how it is affecting my three teens, primarily Twitter & Instagram). My kids know it's just a new form of popularity contest and exclusion, but they've also told me about their peers' underground/fake accounts and hypocrisy, i.e. tons of underage partying pics, nudes, etc.

Interesting questions with many plausible and thought provoking responses to come, I am sure. Narcissism will play out at some level regardless of the medium...social media provides one outlet for narcissist...albeit the audience may or may not "feed" into it. Also depending on the chapter in a person's life, they may or may not be more narcissistic...for example if you have just conquered an astronomical feat such as tremendous weight lose or a triathlon or survival of a serious illness, you may indeed appear narcissistic to others while in fact you may be merely sharing your journey to inspire others on social media...the truth lies in the intentions and those are only known deep within :) True Narcissist's, in my opinion, do not have a barometer which allows them to accept the views of others which are incongruent with their own therefore they are unable to assimilate those dissimilar notions.

Social media makes it easier for self-promotion, so it provides people a way to seek attention.

Yes, I do. And I think most of people act in a narcissistic way on social media by taking photos /selfies from themselves doing something extraordinary, only with the objective of being noticed by the friends. And most of the time, those people suffer from a lack of self-confidence and need to get approval from others.

When all you do is put phots up of yourself and you care sooo much about how many likes you are going to get or how many people are going to see your post, that makes you a narcissist on social media. I do think people realize when other people are being narcissists on social media.

I don't see it play out on social media because when I am on social media it's not what I am looking for and so I pay very little attention to it. I do know of one person with the grandiose form and her FB storyline is very "shiny." I also know that she is frowned upon and mocked by others who do not buy in to her as being cool. I am fairly certain she is oblivious to the fact that what she is doing is viewed in any other light but a positive one. She's her own biggest hero so she's not sitting around worrying what others think of her. Narcissists are not reflective on their own behavior or concerned with what others might think.

I see narcissism play out in quite an extreme manner on social media, in that some people on social media are always craving attention - whether that be in terms of likes on their posts, comments or what have you. I think that people who act in a narcissistic way on social media know how others see them, but as they have such a skewed version of themselves due to being narcissistic, they probably become annoyed at people viewing them in this way and so lash out at other people, making the entire situation even worse. It's almost like a vicious cycle of narcissism, in my opinion.

The people on social media with thousands of followers and craving more are narcissistic. They will post things just to get more attention and more followers

I agree with this statement....social media provides another avenue for the narcissist to gain the attention s/he craves

Being an attention seeker was really addicted for the narcissism people. I feel so bad for that cultural trends.

I think they know but interpret it as envy. They believe they are better than others, don't they?

I don't think they know how others see them and I do think that Social Media is just anothe rmeans in which they can fulfill thier narcissistic attitude. Unfortunately they don't realize they mayneed help and that self discovery and being humble could possibly lead to a more enjoyable life.

I do see many people who take advantage of the immediacy of social media to post details about themselves and their lives that no one ever would have shared even twenty years ago. I do tend to think that their desire to share these mundane details ("I had a salad today!") implies that others care about every detail of their lives.

Narcissism in general, affects the person's intentions negatively which leads to slow self-destruction and when it comes to social media it'll accelerates this process and may cause lose of self-esteem because the impressions you got through social media differs completely from the offline life.

I know people who check to see how many retweet, followers, etc. they have. Also likes. Crazy.

The constant posting of selfies and posting of what they have done, who they know, where they have been are definitely signs of the disease. Social media gives them such a great platform - free, easy, and able to reach millions. Do you think they care how others see them? Don't true narcissists believe that they are wonderful and any ideas to the contrary are quickly discarded!

Usually if people are secure in a love relationship, they don't have to announce every detail to the world. It seems that those who do, may be reaching out for some sort of acknowledgement or praise even if that comes only in the forms of likes or hearts. Therefore, they are exposing their deep insecurity by publicizing their lives like that. It is sad commentary on society that personal relationship needs are not getting met despite having hundreds of 'friends' or 'followers'.

I doubt there is much conscience... particularly when looking back at one self's social media record, one can find himself being overly narcissistic from time to time.

I believe some people do not even know they are narcissist! Let alone view their social posts as narcissistic. People who reflect and show inner motivation, inner love, are more sincere and less narcissistic. Hard to tell the difference sometimes!

Yes! I think they do not get how they are seen. There seems to be a lack of self-awareness.

I think most of the 21st generation have a lot of self love for themselves throughout social media e.g Instagram, selfies. However, these does come with consequences as they could lose self confidence as well as gaining it

I think that people that use social media religiously are narcissistic. I think they know what they are doing even if they do not know what people think of them. Just because they get thousands of likes on their Instagram they may not have thousands of people that like them.

Social media acts as a magnifying glass to people with narcissism. Those who are vulnerable narcissists can find people who validate them and can help them to feel good about themselves. However, narcissism as a whole is easily found throughout social media such as Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, where they can easily expose themselves to thousands of people. The prospect of so much love is an easy attraction for narcissists, and so they end up obsessing over these apps. I think that social media can also lower the confidence of narcissists, as often they may gain hate over their narcissism, and not realise. Those who understand that people see them as narcissists will be unperturbed by this and may even revel in it, as it provides more attention.

Jamie,

What do you mean? Because social media exist there are more narcissists than before? Or there are the same number but they are more narcissistic than they would have been otherwise? Or something else? And what's the evidence?

It seems to me that social media are a Big Thing, although I don't know whether they're each or all bigger or smaller than, e.g. spray paint graffiti on urban walls.

Assuming they're a big deal, it would be nice to know what they're doing to us -- and for that it would be necessary to have some precise ideas and then some hard tests of which ideas are right and which ones aren't.

Cheers,

-dlj.

Quite often the things people post on social media are purely for attention, or to show that they are better in some way because they have the latest iPhone etc. I feel as though people who act in a narcissistic way on social media believe they know how others see them although this view tends to be untrue. They believe that everyone adores and admires them when this often not the case.

i think social media can be an outlet for people with narcissism and give them a place to recive the attention they are wanting. i think people who act narcissistic can know what they're doing but have wrong impressions of how others see them. social media can increse self-confidence but also knock it down for others.

Narcissism is extremely prevalent on social media, as people are overly obsessed with the amount of 'likes' that they receive on their posts, this is an example of people searching for a sense of gratification. Others can be impacted by popularity on social media as they can develop Grandiose Narcissism as a result of lots of online support. This may make them come across well online, but in the real world it can lead to a deluded self view.

Narcissism is encouraged by social media because people live their lives based on how many likes they receive on a social media post. This isn't the way people should determine their self-worth

Narcissists and those who suffer from NPD crave recognition/attention to a point it becomes an obsession for some. Social media is a tool to increase the volume and frequency of exposing oneself to detrimental levels of self- indulgence and for some, provide opportunities to put down and bully others. I believe narcissists know what they're doing, in extreme cases, malignant narcissists deliberately do things to hurt others with some psychotic tendencies. Do they know how others see them? I'm not sure. Their view of themselves is often so skewed, everyone else is wrong so I don't think they'd care what others thought anyway.

Social media is strange because for one, it blind to both sides. The poster doesn't know exactly who is viewing it (or what their opinions are) and it turns into a numbers game more than not. Quantifying praise, to me, is the most damaging part because true narcissists will go after numerical value and not think about the quality they are putting out or the meaning of what they say. . I know people that center their life around their social media image, and I also know that those people are NOTHING like their online persona. It's not unlikely for someone's ego to become inflated. It's easy to for narcissists to be instantly gratified with a number that can go on to be used as a comparative tool. In terms of how people receive it, I don't think narcissists have a real grasp. I think by definition, they just feel like the number of likes is positive no matter what and negative feedback are just "haters". If you put yourself out there, people will have polar opinions.

Narcissists on social media often times post pictures of themselves where they know they look good, but then have an awful caption where they claim they look ugly. That causes others to comment and tell them they look hot.

I think usually they know. They know when they're just asking for attention, because they wouldn't actually post the picture if they thought they looked bad.

The self image of people suffering with narcissim perpetuates their social connection mentality. Therefore they don't recognize that what they post is a little whimsical for others. Their socially acceptable angle of their behaviour is plagued.

I see it wrong and that can be makes it hurt other people. I think there are two types of people who act like this, some who know what others think and another who does not.

Narcissism and social media help each other because it helps get people who are narcissistic get attention,and they do know how others see them, why else do they post?

narcissism is a natural human condition but is mediated by the desire of the other

I think that people who work in social media, don´t start being narcissistic, by the contrary, the people give it so much importance that they begin to create thoughts of greatness, having impulse behaviors like any other celebrity.

I see narcissistic people very low level because they show that they are the perfect people when they are not.

I think that narcissism is a very common thing ,especially on social media. Every person who gets famous is a bit narcissistic, and i think that they know they act this way and know about others opinions.

I think narcissistic people on social media play out pretty well, since they recieve the attention they want and most of them are filthy rich in likes and fame, but I don’t think they see how other people see them since all of the noise is drowned out by the ridiculous amount of support these people receive.

I agree. Narcissists on social media never see anything wrong with their mistakes and never even try to apologise.

Well so called 'dumber' tv shows are more iewed because they deal with a lot more simpler subjects that,by the nature of the human brain,will captivate us more easily instead of having to bother thinking about what you are viewing.
A lot of those celebrities just act narcissit to catch more attention.

i think everyone sees them however they want but it also depend on the person that is actin narcissistic because it could be a person that you like or idolize

I know that social media is a resource for increasing the amount and extent of access to negative levels of self-indulgence, and for others, creating incentives for putting others down and bullying. I don't think the narcissistic person knows that their social media narcissistic actions. For example, I see some of my friends post pictures of themselves with no meaning whatsoever and say "I'm so sad" and ask for help while their facial features smile. I don't think that narcissistic people who are trying to get attention know how others see them because they don't care. However, I think that narcissistic people that are vulnerable and need attention to show that they are sad or need someone to be sad over them do know how others see them. They want people to see that they are feeling sad or need "help".

Social media is ideal for narcissists!

There are so many selfies in news feed of my Facebook account, there are very annoying and I really do not like selfies, of course I do not make pictures with selfie. Moreover, I think that they do not now how I see them, because I think that it is kind of euphoria where people do not understand anything, although I show them my opinion very often.

Instagram, facebook, twitter, etc. where they brag and post pictures of their accomplishments without giving proper credit to the people who were involved in their success

I think that we all have a part of narcissism that depends on the situations, many people want "recognition"or attention and that is relatively achieved through social networks.
I also think that no one knows how others see us

I think the narcissism in social media is very evident because there is a high level of competitiveness for who is more popular.
I think so, because it is what motivates them to have more admiration of others

I THINK THAT ONE CANNOT BE EGOCENTRIC BECAUSE THE WORLD TURNS AND ONE CAN PASS SECURELY. ONE SHOULD THANK EVERY DAY FOR WHAT IT IS.

I see narcissism on instagram or facebook because people post photos to get like's and i don't think so they know how other people see them

Well, I can see narcissism on both facebook and instagram, as users on these social networks feel good, if their photos or posts have a lot of likes.
I think these people can't imagine how other users see them when they make so many posts

I see the narcissism that people active in networks see themselves as exceptionally talented, outstanding and successful. They like to present themselves and show themselves to others and seek the approval of others.

I believe that social networks are a very good and important communication network if you know how to use them, but I also believe that they are a factor for our ego to grow, because applications such as Facebook or Instagram are based on the publications of photos you make and the "I like" what you get, so if you have many I like you are an important, opular and beautiful person, and it should not be like that, since many times this increases narcissism, superficial beauty and lies, since most of the things we see In social networks, they are false and are made, as I said before, to get likes and feel good, which makes me think that this option should exist and that social networks can be used for better things

I think that narcissism has increased in social networks because we are behind the screens and we really do not know what happens with each one, people in networks are very different from what they really are and live.

I think that social media is not the cause of narcissism, but I think that it helps this people to grow their narcissism. You can post selfies and things that you do trying to sell a false image of yourself.

I think that it doesn't affect, because social media is for chatting and posting photos. Not necessarely to narcissism.

In Social Medias such as Instagram or Facebook, I see some narcissism play outs. I think people who act narcissistic doesn't know how others see them thorough the social media.

I think narcissism may have increased due to social media. Adding filters, showing off, giving self-importance and degrading others might be leading to it. Some may realize it and still continue, some might not. It really depends on person to person.

A prime example of narcissism playing out on social media is Jake Paul because is very Narcissistic, after his fight with Nate Robinson a retired basketball player who only trained for a few months had the audacity to call out fighters like Conner Mcgregor and others. Then challenged Connor to box him for 50 million dollars then proceeded to make slanderous comments about Connor and His wife which lead to Jake receiving a lawsuit from Connor, and then Jake proceeded to go onto his brother's podcast and cry about how he didn't deserve all the hate he was getting and trying to once again make him the center of attention which overall kept him popular but very hated by most people. The goal he tried to achieve by going on Logan Pauls Podcast was to receive forgiveness and play the role of the victim and pretend he didn't make malisious comments towards Conner and his wife.

One place where I’ve seen it play out is on TikTok (no surprise there...). On TikTok, there was a creator (that has returned for round 2) that went by the name @thatveganteacher. So basically, she kept saying if you want to get into heaven you need to be vegan and kept attacking disabled people and kept saying this is what happens when you dont go vegan. She also kept getting more and more violent when people showed evidence on why you can go vegan but this will happen. So she think “vegan is” is the only way to live in this world.

Hi Nikhil, you are absolutely right.

I suppose we faced with narcissism in social media every day but try to ignore it because we find it annoying. And IMHO narcissists perfectly know what exactly they doing and kinda proud of this character trait.

I think that people on social mediasare most of the time narcissism.Even a little bit. When you see them at the beginning it isn't annoying but after a while it become less intresting and some time even makes you don't like the person that you liked at the beginning. I think that people who act in a narcissistic way on social mediadon't really take the time to think "is it a little to focused on myself?".

I don't really know because I don't use social media much.

Well, I don't think all of them are narcissistic but there are so many people who want to show themselves to others and that's makes them narcissistic.

Well I think that people who are narcissistic through social networks only do it to try to impress people they don't even know, but who want to be seen and acclaimed by strangers.

I think even if they know how they look they don't want to change it. Sometimes on Instagram, I see a narcissistic person but I wonder how is life for him\her so I continue to follow him\her.

So many YouTubers who post their small personal things as if this was a very serious thing to draw people's attention.

I believe many narcissists' are able to hide their narcissist side from people and came off as smart, helpful and kind but once people attack them or point out their flaw they will use their platform to cancel that person. Social media is the heaven place for narcissistic because they get many likes and admiration so that serve their ego even more. The video is helpful but dose not cover other traits for this personality.

I think since social media is interested in every little part of an influencer life it will definitely fillful their needs for intention and I do not think they know who we see them

Social Media playing the biggest role for exposing our own narcissism in this era. Because people can get famous and be the fake version of them self. I think they know what they do, and a narcissism person mostly dont care about what others think about them. They just want attention and gettin famous

Thankyou, this website help me a lot, even my english still not that good

On social media there are lots of photos of people that want to show their life, what they are doing , where they are and I think that it isn't narcissism . But there could be , probably, someone that is narcissistic and doesn't know how others see this type of person. They think only about themselves and social media helps them to seem superior.

i think that narcissism on social media is very but very widespread, people tend to feel better than society by emphasizing all their merits excluding flaws.

In the last decade Internet has gained more and more importance in the live of each of us. The advent of social media was a turning point for the world community: thanks to it we can communicate with people from all over the world and show to all parts of ourselves. Online we can also find a lot of narcissistic people looking for dominance and attention. They post lots of photos and videos to show everyone how amazing they are and the all good things they have. Often what they post doesn't even correspond to reality; they do this just for the need to appear.

Yes that is true

People dress to impress.

I have seen people put hashtags and such that dont relate to the post and its extremally annoying to see

People post a lot of narcissistic things online. I have especially noticed this with a lot of celebrities. Honestly I think a lot of people know how they look to others because of this behavior but they also know they will get more attention from it.

Narcissists on social media always try to appear perfect and happy and try to get the attention of the others. I believe narcissistic people don't know how others see them on social media or in reality because they are too focused on themselves.

I think that on social media there are a lot of people that like to show their life and appear perfect. I think those people don't know how the others see them because they only think about themselves
