As an adult living in a century where social media is almost an important aspect of living, an adult(young adult) might develop a negative schema of "Approval seeking or Recognition seeking.(Developed by psychologist Jeffery Young)
The schema of approval /recognition seeking is when a person is constantly trying to gain the appreciation and support of others.In some cases, fails to develop a sense of self-worth. For example, on Instagram, a female "model" would constantly post images of herself that defiles her belief just for "likes" and "instafame". Her mood sometimes depends on how many views/likes each posted image can acquire.She might sub-consciously be controlled by this.
The views and like might bring fame temporary satisfaction that can lead to another schema by Jeffery Young called "Entitlement and Grandiosity, which means seeking fame or power at the expense of the safety of others.In other words, their assimilated new endeavour into existing schema.
Another example of schema would be an only child pursuing a career in medicine just because that would make mom and dad happy. They give up their own need just to make someone else happy.
