| Selfies seem to be this integrated hard into this generations culture how often do you take them, that is if you do? I never understood as to why people do it so if you know why yourself, do tell. What are your thoughts of people who take selfies if you don't? General thoughts?:0 |
Is this where you live?  |
| I think selfies are a really good way of encouraging and expressing confidence and self-love |
Xososkitah said: It's just... a picture from yourself... It becomes a "selfie" if you start annoying your friends with it on whatsapp. That's the definition. |
| Gads, no. Though my kids are obsessed with the stupid things. |
| I have the habit of stopping and taking a selfie whenever I'm somewhere with a full body mirror. In my bedroom, in a hotel room, in the bathroom at the Chinese restaurant down the road, in the bathrooms on campus, in a store, etc. |

Oxalias said: Selfies are for normies lol why else would you take one Agreed, unless your cosplaying some anime character or etc. |
| From time to time... sometimes it's just the best thing to do! ;) |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| Hate the concept. Always have always will. I just see it as narcissistic. The fact that some phones are marketed as "selfie phones" also pisses me off to no end. As long as the people taking them don't shove them in my face every chance they get I won't have a problem with them. |
"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| I'm not on instagram or snapchat so they don't bother me. :/ |
| I take selfies and send them to friends but I don't think I would ever share them here... |

 But you'll still take damage! |
| I'm always taking selfies for my instagram account, that's just the joy of being beautiful |
I'm feelin' normal, I'm feelin' myself ♪♪ |
| Of course I do. I usually take them to be more sociable and improve the way I look. So far, I think I'm getting out of my comfort zone by doing so. :) |
 |
| It's fine for people to take pics of themselves but it it's fairly stupid to do it on a nearly daily basis. Also I hate the word "selfie". |
traed said: Also I hate the word "selfie". well it is either that or call it a 'self portrait' which comes out quite haughty lol also i'm share this song in this thread 'lemme take a selfie' lol |

xrockxz89 said: traed said: Also I hate the word "selfie". well it is either that or call it a 'self portrait' which comes out quite haughty lol It's a photo or pic. I wouldn't call it a portrait even though it is one since portrait often implies professional photography. |
| I take them from time to time, but I'm pretty tactful about it, I just take it to share with close family or friends. I don't go shoving my face around everywhere. There is a narcissistic part to it, of course. When I was in Germany people were taking selfies at a concentration camp. |
| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| if people find joy in it then good for them but im not taking much selfies since im not good looking |
| I think I take a selfie like... only 2 or 3 times a year? Usually because that's how often I get a new haircut which is the reason for the selfie anyway. During those rare moments however, I do take roughly 20-30 shots until I'm satisfied but only post that one "perfect" shot. lol And I really hate it when people overdo it. I have this one relative who takes multiple selfies nearly everyday and posts ALL of the pictures she takes on Facebook which I think is ridiculous seeing as she looks EXACTLY the same in almost all of them. -_- Unsurprisingly, I unfollowed her just so I'd stop seeing her face every time I get on Facebook. |

 |
| i could honestly not give less of a shit about selfies |

| I have literally (and I mean literally) never taken a selfie. |
 |
| I take 0 selfies. My Partner however does, usually when she cosplays or dresses up but that's mainly only to tease me. |
 |
| well im not a fan of having my photo taken at all. also what ever you done DON'T BE THIS IDIOT http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-woman-foresthill-bridge-fall-no-trespassing-20170406-story.html |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| Some people go a little bit too overboard with their selfies - had a friend that used to take them practically non-stop when she had spare time and she'd post them on Instagram just to get people to tell her she was pretty, etc. Kind of like she needed constant validation or something. |
| Every time I learn some fancy millennial colloquialism, another doggoneit meme gets invented. |
 |
| i take selfies often, though i rarely post them; they've helped me overcome a lot of insecurities. i think they promote self-love and confidence which is really great! obviously you'll always have people who take things too far to the point of narcissism, but most of the time it's harmless and fun. |
 |
| I take selfies a few times a week but hardly post them. I just keep 'em around for options to change whatever profile picture I'm sick of on social media. |

 I swear I really dislike taking photos of myself, and yet in the times we live is one of those things you HAVE TO DO EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO at least one time per year Ivy said: I think I take a selfie like... only 2 or 3 times a year?

| I don't really care about it. I'm not a fan of selfie, I don't really like to take pictures anyway. |
| Yes, I take them. Because I have no friends to model for *sniff* I also take random ones when I'm out to check how I look, but I don't make it obvious because it's so embarrassing to take one in front of people... |

| No I'm not a narcissist who needs to keep reminding people how I look. I have a mirror, I can fucking look at it and see what I look like. I don't need to share it with everyone in the world. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| I don't really take selfies. I mean, I don't mind them. Although the puppy filter on snapchat is a big no |
 |
| Rarely. I'm not an exhibitionist who post photos of myself in social media and then waiting for likes lol. But as long as you don't overdo it I think it's perfectly fine. |
 |
| I'm not against selfies, but something about people posting them regularly (say, on a daily basis) rubs me in the wrong way. And I don't personally take them very often either - you'll be lucky to see me taking a selfie once a month. I don't even like the whole word "selfie". |
| Selfies are okay, they get kinda boring tho if someone posts a selfie from the same angle every single day. |
 |
| I take Around 3-4 a day. Not that much |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
