HOLLYWOOD- Why do people post on social media expensive designer bags? Some people are indifferent to the world around them, while others want to draw attention to themselves. They are insecure, lack self-esteem, fundamentally they are looking to the outside world for validation. Living to impress other people by posting on social media is not the most intelligent move you can make to improve your own life. Vanity and attention-seeking are both narcissistic traits, and by taking pictures of constantly buying designer bags and shoes are seen both as exhibitionist self- defense against a fragile ego.

Shopping can also be a way to cope with stress, boredom, or negative emotions, although this can sometimes lead to compulsive shopping habits. Celebrities don’t need to showcase their wealth.
