10 Surprising Ways to Spot a Narcissist on Social Media
...No. 8 Posting selfies (this only applies to men only)!!!
Most people think that anyone who posts a lot of selfies is a narcissist. The reality is more complex. Among 1,296 men and women, it was found that selfie-posting predicted narcissism among men, but not women. Why? Researchers posit that selfie-posting might be normalized among women. In other words, women, but not men, are pretty much expected in our society to post selfies.
i love how being narcissistic bastard is normalized amongst foids but not men
Selfie posting behaviors are associated with narcissism among men

How do you spot a narcissist on Instagram?
How do you spot a narcissist on Instagram?
- Open Instagram
- Job done
If you wanted to HUNT narcissists - a kind of big game fishing for narcissists - you would invent INSTAGRAM…….!
Lets do the math(s).
Number of people on Instagram 110,000,000
% of narcissists that have a smartphone on Instagram - 100
Number of smartphones in the world - 2.7 billion
% of population with mild or above narcissism 4%
Number of narcissists on Instagram 108,000,000
So 110 million people on Instagram and by my calculation 108 million are going to be in the spectrum of narcissism - thats 98.18% likelihood that any given person on Instagram is a narcissist………..
OK - we all know I am massively exaggerating here……..
But am I?
Lets see - the only REAL variable in these otherwise well researched figures [honestly I researched them] is the % of narcs on Instagram.
She what are the variables - well you dont really get narc under 20 - they are just kids and teens so thats 2/7ths or 28% of the population gone.
And lets be real basically no one over 50 is using Instagram are that so thats another 2/7ths or 28%.
But in the remaining 44% you can pretty much say for certain THEY ARE ON INSTAGRAM if they are a narc.
THAT IS 43.2% PROBABILITY
Nearly 50% of the people on Instagram are narcissists. THATS before you count the duplicate accounts many will have.
Lets say that 50% of these are a strange type of undiscovered narcissist that does not like attention - I know we have yet to find this mythical creature but lets say they exist and 50% are this type.
THAT STILL MEANS over 20% of EVERYONE WOULD BE A NARCISSIST.
So somewhere between a TOTALLY unrealistic low of 1 in 5 and a way more likely 1 in 2 on Instagram are narcissists.
This is NOT big game fishing for narcs - this is shooting narcs in a barrel…….
So I refer you to my earlier answer:
- Open Instagram
- Job done.
