Liking your own status is presumptuous. It’s not proper netiquette. If your status is worthy of being Liked, then someone will Like it. You don’t need to click the Like Button yourself to get it started. That’s what bums do. A panhandler will put a dollar in his cup, because it breaks the seal and other people will be more likely to give a donation. Liking your own status is like putting a dollar in your cup. It also makes you seem full of yourself. Remember the story of Narcissus? He was so full of himself that he fell in love with his reflection. He couldn’t stop looking at himself and he wasted away and died. If he were alive today, he would be Liking his own Facebook status. That’s what narcissists do.
