Such pressure is beyond social media and the younger generation - everyone wants to fit in and put their best image forward.

By nature, we as a species desire a sense of belonging - to fit in with society and associate with the social norm.

Young people replicate what they see on social media in order to fit into their impression of such social success.

It is extremely easy and common to change your image on social media - photo editing, forgery, etc. 

Snapchat's location feature (etc) puts pressure on social media consumers to share as much of their life as possible.

Mainstream media (i.e. popular Instagram public figures) serve as a reference as what is currently most socially desirable (i.e. trends, body types, etc.).

While certain individuals may be initially fine with being themselves, the presence of social media may pressure some to fit themselves into society's mold. 

Gender norms and social media - maintaining their external image is an ongoing phenomenon amongst women of all time periods - social media have simply strengthened this factor.

The shower and the critics - some prefer presentation to evaluation (different types of way people use social media).

The presence of a "support network" - while a string of compliments by the same few people may be beneficial to the shower's egotistical needs, this factor may create a bubble of enabling illusion, and may encourage the shower to continue their way of using social media, regardless of its nature.

A reaffirmation-based system (i.e. Likes, Comments, Views, etc.) implies a direct tie between the quality of the content and the amount of "points". This causes audiences to contribute to the platform for the sake of earning such points, rather than simply sharing their lives and thoughts.
