The Danger of Compulsive Social Media Checking

Compulsively checking someone's social media can be a misguided attempt to protect oneself from potential rejection or disappointment in early dating. This behavior often stems from an insecurity that leads to obsessively seeking evidence to justify one's feelings of inadequacy, such as comparing oneself to a date's ex-partners or their social media interactions. Such actions can distort one's self-perception and hinder the ability to present the best version of oneself during the dating process. Ultimately, this obsession does not contribute positively to the developing relationship but instead breeds anxiety and detracts from genuine connection.
