Have you ever noticed the potential of avatars on social software?

The avatar on social software will largely determine the other person’s first impression when they chat with you.

Are you humorous? single? Fat or thin? More or less, you can get some clues from your avatar.

In other words, the status of your avatar in online social networking is just like the role of appearance in real life, which directly affects the first impression you make.

A lonely and cold back figure may increase the distance between each other during chatting; while a smiling frontal face can unconsciously bring a sense of intimacy.

Next, let’s take a closer look at various types of avatars.

1

Selfie avatar

Generally speaking, people who use selfies as avatars tend to have a strong sense of self and are full of confidence.

Their willingness to expose their personal image means that they are willing to communicate and show themselves, and they also hope to be recognized by others.

However, it is also a personal photo, with a different style, and what you want to show is also different.

People who use headshots don’t mind magnifying their facial features, tend to be narcissistic, have an open mind, and don’t care about other people’s opinions.

Compared with headshots, people who take full-body photos or travel photos have a more reserved personality and are less publicized. They have a more objective understanding of themselves, know how to use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and pay more attention to showing a positive image of themselves.

People who use selfies as avatars hope to express themselves through body language and physical characteristics so that others can understand themselves better. For example, jumping on the beach is to express your free and easy personality, and holding a wine glass in the feasting is to show your petty bourgeoisie.

There is also a more special kind. Although it is also a selfie, it is either a back view or wearing big sunglasses and covering the face with hands.

They are often complicated and contradictory in their hearts. On the one hand, they long for recognition from others, but on the other hand, they remain enigmatic. Such people often have a high self-esteem and have a glassy heart, so they should be cautious when dealing with them.

Animal/pet avatars

There are also some people who like to use cute pets as avatars.

Most of them are socially awkward, do not like to socialize, are passive, withdrawn, have a low communication attitude, do not like conflicts, and are slow to warm up. At the same time, they have a pure inner side and desire to be praised.

Using animals as avatars is basically out of love. On the one hand, I feel happy when I look at it, but on the other hand, I want to share it with others, hoping to gain recognition from others.

This is a kind of projection. The underlying expression is that you want to be considered docile, cute, and cute, but you are also as weak as an animal and need to be pampered and cared for.

3 Cartoon avatars

This kind of people often think that they have not grown up yet, stay at home, immersed in their own world, and have jumping ways of thinking, which most people do not understand. He makes friends based on his likes and dislikes. He is flamboyant in front of acquaintances. He is easily nervous and has stage fright in front of strangers. He is popular in three minutes.

People with cartoon avatars are eager to meet similar people and find a sense of collective belonging, but this sense of belonging is only limited to the Internet.

Most of them lack deep recognition of themselves and often lack self-confidence, but at the same time they feel self-pity for their own cowardice and weakness.

Emoji avatars

Such people are often loud, easy-going and interesting. But the fly in the ointment is that sometimes when you are used to joking and talking about serious things with him, you can't get into the rhythm for a long time, or you go off track while talking.

Commonly known as "living treasure". He has a distinctive personality, has a sense of joy, is familiar with others, is keen to update his circle of friends, knows everyone in a large group, and is good at fighting and telling jokes.

After all, the life creed of emoji lovers is roughly "If you are serious, you will lose."

When you are in a bad mood, you might as well try to click on a girl or boy with an emoji avatar. Maybe you can adjust your mood and create a good relationship.

Celebrity/idol avatars

In recent years, with the popularity of various national husbands and national brothers, many people’s avatars have become Their idol.

Once, I looked through social software and found that there were more than a dozen Yang Yang, Li Yifeng, Zhao Liying, and some unknown celebrities.

At that moment, I felt that I had a wide circle of friends, and that my circle was either rich or noble.

But there is also a characteristic, that is, the boy's avatar will only be of male idols, while the girl's avatar will be of both male and female idols.

Generally speaking, most girls who choose idols as their avatars are girly-minded, have a weak sense of reality, love beauty, and have their own unique interests.

Generally speaking, boys who choose idols as their avatars tend to be more stubborn in character, have straight male physiques, are more career-oriented, and tend to ignore the feelings of girls.

6 Group photo avatars

Photos taken with your partner, with your children, with your parents, with your best friends, with your buddies, with your pets... No matter who you take the photo with, it can all be classified as a group photo.

Most of these people lack a sense of security, are often less independent, value relationships, and rely on others.

To put it another way, they may not have outstanding personalities or specialties, and their behavior is quite satisfactory. They don't care much about personal achievements. For them, the greatest happiness often comes from interacting with others.
