It's not regurgitating, it's quoting.
>to seem "deep" in the eyes of others
That's your interpretation of what happens and probably more of a reflection of yourself than them. I see it as just someone sharing a quote they liked, because others might like it too. Also could you give me an example so I can better undestand what kind of quotes you mean here?
>>13511855
Banality is subjective, I'm sure tons of people would find what you have to say banal. Also what kind of social credit do they gain after posting it, in your eyes?
>>13511879
>nothing about inspirational quotes is inspirational
Not everyone is a cynic. Admittedly, I do not find myself affected a lot by inspirational quotes nowadays, but I used to when I was younger.
>It's a bunch of meaningless platitudes you share to portray a better character
Platitudes or not, they probably had an emotional inspirational effect on the one posting them, and they simply want to share this with others. I don't think it's to portray a better character, that doesn't even make sense to me: it's just a quote.
>Are you the type of spastic that hangs up these jargons around the house?
Wow you are a mean person. I don't hang inspirational quotes around the house, but I used to post them on social media back when they had a deep effect on me. I don't do it anymore.

Who gives a fuck if you post inspirational quotes on social media? Only people that are self-conscious about their own presence on social media (or lack of it) because a person confident in themselves doesn’t really have the time or energy to give a shit about menial crap like somebody’s post history, let alone somebody’s history with quotations. I used to do it on insta because I could literally travel back 2/3 years in time just by scrolling and know exactly how I was feeling in that one particular month in that one particular year. You people are too influenced by others on this website to formulate your own perspective. Stop with the quotation bullshit already, there’s a girl getting wet for me because of a book and I don’t know how I should get her off my back. Philosophy on respectfully rejecting pussy now please.

Using facebook has nothing to do with self-respect. A lot of famous and rich guys who clearly have self-respect use it, as well as, I suspect, a lot of your friends. Some of them probably at some point in their lives have posted inspirational quotes too, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm not baiting, sorry, and I'm currently 20 years old. When I was about 16 I was really embarrassed for posting inspirational quotes because of things I saw in circles like these, but later on I realized there's literally nothing wrong with that and that I took memes I saw too seriously. Posting an inspirational quote on facebook doesn't make a person any better or worse, you're all overcomplicating it. You can probably infer from it that the person is a bit idealistic and not too sceptical/cynical, maybe even a bit naive, but what's wrong with that? Just judge people by who they are.

You realize most people above the poverty line in the western world have and regularly use social media? Seems like you hold an irrational hate towards social media and inspirational quotes. I also went through that phase: hell, I even deleted my facebook account once. I just hope you stop being spooked by these memes soon, being antisocial is not very good for you.

Also I'm going to sleep. Talk to you tomorrow if this thread is still up. Maybe someone manages to come up with an actually coherent argument why they think it's cringy to post inspirational quotes on social media without resorting to guessing other people's intentions and associations.
As a sidenote, some indian guy added me on facebook who I don't even know and I accepted him thinking whatever. He's about 25, looks kinda nerdy and his timeline consists solely of posts about 2 inspirational quotes every day, and a lot of them are kinda cute. He's a quirky character, but brightens my mood every time I turn on facebook.

Not OP but there's not reason to be so mean. I'm sure many people who can probably fill out those sections don't FB (or any other social media for that matter). Do you categorize them as "social rejects and boring sacks of shit" as well? That's a radical and utopian way to see the world.
