With this generation living dual lives, real and virtual, validation has morphed into the one click variety. Every click of the Like button is a virtual pat on the back. Every Favorite is proof of a job well done. Likes and favorites, not to mention retweets, share, and videoplay, have become such valuable commodities that their numbers are now the yardstick to which Millennials (or at least that what they call us now) measure their self-worth. Experts call this digital affirmation, where youngsters seek approval not just from their families and friends, but also from their online tribe. Unfortunately, social media only shows a cross-section of peoples lives and tying in their worth to how good their selfies look or how funny their posts are, cheat them the opportunity to fully know and appreciate WHO THEY REALLY ARE. #TheLikeTribe
