Recent studies by human behavior scientists have shown that “sadfishing” on social media is strongly linked to an anxious attachment style. “Sadfishing” refers to the act of exaggerating one’s emotional problems online in order to gain sympathy and attention.

Researchers have found that sad fishers often exhibit anxious attachment symptoms. This attachment style is characterized by a constant need for approval from others and a fear of abandonment. Sad fishing may be more than just a momentary cry for help; research suggests it may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.

Experts say that even if the habit is not new, it has been made easier by its association with social media.

The award-winning media psychologist, speaker and published researcher noted the trend, which first gained national attention through a 2019 campaign in which Kendall Jenner revealed she struggled with acne while working with Proactiv.

“This guy is saying some vague things, or frankly, things that seem a little sinister and sad,” he said of “Sadfishing” today.

Grant said he will offer suggested questions at the beginning and end of the presentation.

“My close friends know what’s going on with me. They know what my daily life is like,” he said.

“When you post something on social media, what is your motivation for wanting people outside of those closest to you to know or be aware of it? What is your reason for posting it? What is your motivation for posting something for the whole world to see? [to see]???
