A professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong put forward the concept of "information addiction". He pointed out that today's information explosion, people's acceptance of information is surged, but the human mindset has not been well adjusted to be acceptable. In the stage of a large amount of information, when faced with overloaded information, many people feel that their knowledge is not enough, and thus it is easy to form a strong sense of anxiety. At the same time, the social media approach of new media has stimulated people's show-off mindset, which makes people feel anxious.

In the second half of the Internet, various new media social methods continue to emerge. Wechat, Weibo and other entertainment apps have become a tool for people to show off while facilitating social interaction. People are all showing off their temperament. Now, especially some milk tea shops, why is there a long queue at the entrance of the store? Is it because their tea is really delicious? In fact, this is not the case. Many people just want to take a photo of the tea, send a microblog or friends circle to show off, so as to arouse everyone’s praise and try to show off their life.

The prevalence of social media in new media allows us to see these ''neighbors'' show off more frequently, only to discover that they have lived better than me.
