Researchers believe that sharing photographs, specially when we are socially connected and celebrating life (external engagement) or feeling joyful while savouring peace (internal engagement), is making us happier because it\u2019s more about sharing small moments of life than highlighting the successful milestones that are often shared for ego-boosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s the reason we take selfies, share Instagram reels, update Facebook profiles or tweet those joyful moments, images and memories. For many of us, taking out our phones to click a moment is our first reaction when we\u2019re doing something joyfully or differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
