Is there a reason why guys do this?
Understanding Why Some Men Don't Publicly Support You
Men may choose not to support publicly due to personal boundaries, discomfort with social media, or uncertainty about the relationship. Their actions might not reflect their true feelings but rather their comfort level or priorities. Recognizing individual differences can help clarify their intentions and avoid misunderstandings.
I'm an old fashioned guy, I believe there's more to life than social media. Does he support you on the new one.. fortnight is it called?
Or keeping their options open 😃
It’s to protect against future prospects. Sad but true. FYI Social media is a relationship killer and I’m sure your romantic interest really does like you.

He would like other girl’s photos and friends stuff just not me 🤔 @MyStarsShine

I meant it like, him liking other girl’s photos and friends post but just never mine. @FadedAri
Is there a reason why a guy who claims to care about you and support you as a friend doesn’t do it publicly like on social media? Before, we used to like each other romantically. For example, It feels he acknowledges everyone but me 😔 liking other girl’s photos and friends post etc

Ouch my bad thinking of my past. But maybe he thinks he doesn’t think you need anymore validation because his heart beats for you. Express to him and I’m sure he could see your POV.
Social media is the devil, I swear. It exacerbates all of our biggest fears and insecurities. When I found myself in the past becoming insecure or obsessive about who or what a guy was liking, I took a break from social media so I could refocus on what really matters. In the end we cannot control other people we can only control how we respond, and choose not to let it get to you.
Are you dating or just friends?
I wholeheartedly agree 😔 we’re friends but we liked each other. The problem is that his words doesn’t match his action. Acknowledging other girl’s post and friends but ignore mine. @ImperfectStorm
It's pretty common to do. You should figure out why you care so much about him validating your posts.
Your friendship shouldn't be affected by his likes and how he uses his social media.
Omg cant we have the right to not care bout social media
Idk about that. I would never use match or tinder because IG and FB is to easy to find a hookup.

That doesn’t sound like a good friend at all. It’s not about validation it’s just his words don’t match his actions if he skips over specifically me. Just saying. Not trying to start an argument.

How do you know it's just you that he skips over and how do you know that he's doing it on purpose? You do realize that social media has algorithm's, right? You may not even show up on his news feed, if he doesn't interact with your posts often.
As an example-
I've had people question why I don't like their stuff and it was because I didn't actively go to their page and look at it.
It did not show up on my feed at the time I hopped on quickly. One even asked me why I didn't view his stories- I never even knew he had stories because I don't scroll the top list of users to see more stories- I have the same ones who stay in rotation because those are usually the only ones I view, since it's convenient and right there.
I then felt forced to have to look at his stories, just because he brought it to my attention- It's ridiculous.
People look too much into these sorts of things.

Because even my friends have noticed. He doesn’t follow a lot of people like maybe 50 and some are inactive. He has seen my stories with no problem. That’s how I know and he did it on purpose.

You should talk to him about it since it bothers you so much. Especially since you are taking what he does so personally.

This is natural for Water Venuses. I know a girl who starts speaking about her relationships in social media only after they end. She has Cancer Venus.
Agreed 💯 I have Venus in 12th house. Nobody on my Facebook friends list has any clue about the Pisces, and I’m crazy about him.
If I’m like engaged to be married then I might go public. But I keep my personal business personal and off of social media. I just talk openly about relationships on here because it’s anonymous. Lol

Yup! Unless I'm married or living with someone, they won't ever go on my page. People probably think I'm single on SM
I find those who declare this stuff online are the least likely to hold together.
They are most likely to cheat.
Humble ppl don't want your attention.
Attention seekers are just that. Easy to manipulate. And have the attention span of a 2yo cheater. K bye.

Your disdain for men gave the op your knee jerk opinion.
You fed into her insecurity
And now you pity her?
You have got to be the worst older woman to give younger women advice on here. You want them all single.
Op he was most probably arbitrarily scrolling and liking things.
If you are close, he doesn’t need to like your things.
Don’t put any importance on social media attention.
IDK, Can't you just be petty and like every guy's picture but his? Try it he might get the message.
Social media? Seriously?!
Please, just fucking grow-up.
Are you okay?
Because social media is fake, and nothing more then a place to seek validation in an atmosphere where validation doesn't even truly matter. Or even exist, at least in a real meaningful manner. Unless he is also slacking in the real world, who cares about what he says on social media?
