“Liking” your own posts gives those posts a little extra nudge in terms of engagement. Having at least one “Like” draws attention to a post and gives it a little extra perceived importance in the minds of your friends and page “Likers”.

Why can you like your own posts?
Most social networks want to encourage, not discourage posting. So users who are excited about posting something may want to express that excitement further by liking their own post. Saying "no" to that creates unnecessary friction for users. It doesn't hurt the platform.
Is it weird to like your own post on Instagram?
It is never acceptable to like your own 'gram. The simple act of posting the picture to Instagram indicates that you do, in fact, like it. Adding a like is obvious and sad.
Why can't I like my own posts on Facebook?
Browser Issues
Make sure you are correctly logged in to your Facebook account when trying to like and comment. Clearing your browser's data cache, restarting your browser, updating the browser software to the latest version and disabling any Facebook-related extensions can all help to resolve the problem.
Why do people like their own comment?
They see it and (perceive others to see it) as ego-centric, wanting to have more likes, and so on. For others, they see it as acceptable. They don't see anything wrong with it. They genuinely like their own post.
