We've become pretty invested in social media. That's not necessarily breaking news to us, but it does lead us to value everything that takes place on an app a little more than it probably should.

We see couples like Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin writing incredibly mushy Instagram captions professing their love to one another and we yearn for it. We crave it. A public demonstration of love is sweet and really helpful to your ego, let's be real. You can't help but think, "Why doesn't my boyfriend do that?" Well, stop it. That's just not who he is, honey.

We can probably blame it on over-the-top demonstrations of love in the movies, but we forget that some guys aren't like the ones in a Nicholas Sparks novel adaptation. He doesn't need to tweet your selfies with fire emojis or give his Facebook friends an inside scoop of just how great you are in a three-paragraph post to prove to you that he loves you.

Love is more than just what is broadcasted on social media. If your boyfriend is shy, let him be shy. If he's not the best with words, don't whine about the fact that he doesn't shower you with tweets about you. Let him love you the best way he knows how.

We all crave attention. We want validation. We desire others to know just how good we have it, as prideful as that is. Maybe that's because we're so invested in having our lives broadcasted across the Internet for the world to see or maybe it's because we're just shallow.

It's unfair to your boyfriend for you to hold him to standards of love demonstration that he is uncomfortable with or are just not his personality. Let him show his love for you by how he texts you all day, even if he's busy, how he invites you to hang out with him and his friends, how he sleeps next to you every night, or how he brings you around his family.

Love is more than just what is put out on a social media platform. He shouldn't need to screenshot your Snapchats or make you his Twitter header for you to know he loves you. If you value that more than any other demonstration of affection, you probably need to reevaluate some things.
