I don't care. Likes on social media are very unimportant to me. I barely ever check them. I give likes to people on my timeline if I see them, but a lot of time, I really don't care about mine.
Um I guess I kinda actually care about them? Well, if I get a lot of likes it does give you that gratification and makes you feel good about yourself so there's that, I like giving out likes to people as well :)
I have more important things to worry about than if some strangers on the internet like my posts. And for friends, I don't associate with them for likes, I do it because I like being around them and interacting with them, so them liking my posts or not doesn't matter either.
I prefer thoughtful replies with a possible followup discussion over this fastfood style of response. Nothing is more validating than someone else trying to fully understand what's going on inside your head.
I'd like to pretend I don't care about them, but I think it's always nice to have a post that gets a bunch of likes. There's a site I used to use where I had 3x the amount of likes than I did posts, and I always secretly really enjoyed it especially whenever someone would point it out. It ended up kinda becoming a joke with a few friends of mine, since in the past they'd go and get a group together to flood someone's posts with likes.
i try not to care, but it just feels so good to be validated in that little way, especially if it's by someone who isn't even close to you. it's like the smallest form of flattery.
