Ego Scrolling: Validation Seeking Over Connection on Dating Apps

Some people use dating apps not to find love, but to feel good about themselves by getting matches.

This is called 'ego scrolling.'

They swipe profiles looking for validation instead of aiming to meet someone.

It can hurt those looking for real relationships.

It causes them to feel rejected and confused.

To avoid it, consider what you want from dating, limit swiping time, and have meaningful conversations.

This helps you avoid the bad feelings from the apps.
