Classy bags, mouthful foods, expensive cars, dazzling jewelries, high-tech gadgets, out-of-the-country tours, several shopping bags, shoes, watches, branded clothes and everything that will make a person look “high quality” human, kidding. I’m just saying that these can make a person look sophisticated, intellectual, smart-ass, and fuckingly awesome. These are the status symbols that everyone love to share and post on their different social media sites and even notify and blab to their families and friends.
And by meaning of ‘love to share’, it means nonstop flooding of these oh-so-awesome photos on your Facebook, Instagram, twitter, and any account that you can brag your stuffs anytime and anywhere you want. It can also mean endless blabbing about their stuffs, old or new. Well, whether you deny it or not, many people intentionally posting kind of status symbols on their accounts just to “Humbly” or “slightly” brag to one another. It is like an ego or self-confidence booster knowing that you are in the trend, in short you are “in”. Status symbols has pros and cons, but either way, limitations should be primarily considered.
So Here I come with a list (in any order) of different status symbols, kinds of people in social media sites, and do’s and don’ts to know its limits. This is mostly an observation from different social media sites and generalize conviction locally or globally.
