8 Powerful Reasons For A Happy Couple Not To Share Their Relationship Online

[LoShiNi]

Several studies undertaken by universities and research institutions have come to similar conclusions regarding internet activity of happy couples. The result is surprising: Those who post the least online have a better relationship.

Researchers focused on the reasons why couples who spend time in peace and happiness are frequently further removed from the torrent of information circulating on social media, which is why they don’t post much about their own relationship status.

1. They avoid convincing others of who they really are.

According to Dr. Nikki Goldstein, “Frequently, people who are looking for validation are those who frequently post about things involving them. This is because their objective is the approval of others, in order to know if they should keep doing what they’re doing or not.”

2. They have no psychopathic or narcissistic tendencies.

A survey of 800 men between the ages of 18 and 40 found that, “narcissism and psychopathy is reflected in the number of selfies posted as well as how often these images are edited before sharing online.”


3. They don’t get distracted by social media.

The reason is simple. When couples are happy, they’re simply enjoying each other’s company in the present, without needing to look at their cell phone or talk with others online.


4. They’re couples who are sure of themselves.

According to a survey of more than 100 couples, researchers at Northwestern University concluded that those who frequently post content about their partner on social media are in fact feeling insecure about their relationship.

5. They keep their arguments offline.

Whether they’re arguments or misunderstandings, happy couples are able to keep their arguments between them, without needing to post about it to their friends or looking for help online in order to “win” the argument.

6. They don’t base their happiness on the reactions of other people on social media.

Researchers from Albright College call this behavior Relationship-Contingent Self-Esteem (RCSE), and they describe it as, “an unhealthy form of self-esteem which depends on how well their relationship is seen on social media.”

7. They don’t feel the need to prove or show anything.

They’re not looking for acceptance, nor trying to convince others about anything specific. They also don’t feel the need to show others how much fun they’re having. Real life doesn’t depend on a cell phone camera and internet connection.

8. They stay off of social media.

They’re people who may occasionally post information about their private life. However, they post about general topics or those that interest them. Denmark’s Happiness Research Institute conducted an experiment with 1,095 people and discovered that, “after one week without accessing social media, the group reported higher levels of satisfaction in their lives.”
