A new pet peeve. People who like or retweet their own recent tweets. I don’t get it and I’m not sure I want to.

I am a twitter novice but it seems like that is there for others to retweet what someone else tweeted or to provide further commentary on a prior comment. So, perhaps it is not unreasonable to find the practice a bit.... self-serving and annoying?
-
I must admit that I may be a bit grumpier and less tolerant than usual due to seasonal blues. I just find it slightly narcissistic when someone routinely likes or retweets their own tweets about the minutiae of everyday life such as lunch pictures.
-
So it’s an inference about the person’s character? Self-RT presumed to imply obsessive or disproportionate valuation of oneself & one’s own needs over others (or to detriment of others), so annoyance is response 2 inferred narcissism?
-
To some extent, I suppose. Narcissism may not be a good choice — attention-seeking behavior may be more apt.
-
That may be so - but people seek attention for all kinds of reasons, including feelings of loneliness or isolation.
