How to not give into vanity and the need to brag?

[Longwaytogo]

Here's the deal. I'm a typical girlie girl who's into fashion and social media. I have a group of girlfriends who are your typical pretty, skinny, competitive friends/frenemies who use Facebook and Instagram as platorms to soak up each other's awesomeness. I'm tired of playing the game of who will post the hottest photo and brag the most with the coolest status update. I want to live a life with more substance. I wanted o close my accounts but I work as a social media editor for a big brand so I need to remain active on social networks ( I have a huge following). I would like to stop playing that silly game of popularity with my immature girlfriends. How do I do this without seeming rude? I thought about forcing myself to stop logging in so often and not try to one-up every photo and status update. I no longer want to be an attention whore.

I'd say that you have the right idea. Since you need to be on such sites, don't worry about that part of it. Just let go of the need for the 'one-up-on-you' posts.

Recognize the fact that you ARE awesome; there's no need to prove it to anyone anymore.
