Liking to be liked

[Tracie Lynn]

Essentially, liking something on facebook that you dont actually have sincere interest in.

Some do it to fit in by liking what [popular people] liked.

Some do it to [reinforce] in everyones minds that the he/she is, indeed, friends with the poster of the status.*

Some do it to make sure everyone knows that he/she was a part of the inside joke in the status.*

Some do it to create the illusion that he/she was a part of the inside joke in the status.*

*You can [interchange] status and picture.
