Are we obsessed with social media or are we obsessed with ourselves? asks a new infographic. With 80pc of social media posts being about the poster, the latter just may be the case.
The infographic created by PsychologyDegree.net and published on Visual.ly takes a look at the psyche behind social networking.

Despite all this activity and information put out on social networks, though, nine out of 10 Americans think people share too much.
