Taking Selfies: Please Quit Taking The Same Selfie Over And Over

Why You Taking Selfies Like That Again?

The art of taking selfies, rule #1, do not take the same selfie over and over and over…. you get the point.

I can’t recall how many singles I see taking selfies of the same look, same style, same posture, same background, over and over. Get some creativity! (LOL)

Look, social media is a fantastic platform for people to unwind, reconnect with their friends and loved one and basically, have a good time. Reading funny memes, funny stories and weird cartoon images create a light note to our rather busy and stressful lifestyles. However, there’s this particular group of people that have made it their lives mission to ruin it for everyone.

Being forced to endlessly scroll down through millions of selfies from the same person in the same angle and scene isn’t anyone’s cup of tea. These are the kind of things that people go to the nut house for. Actually, studies show that people who post selfies all day long have “body dysmorphic disorder” (BDD). Why would anyone in their right mind think that people, mostly strangers, would want to spend 15 minutes of their lives looking at identical photos of someone who isn’t even all that? It’s disturbing, abnormal and you all just need to stop!

You probably justify your psychotic addiction that the selfies exude self-confidence. Keep lying to yourself. We definitely don’t care for you but if you’re looking for a public opinion then you’re about to get it. When a group of strangers who have important things going on in their lives is forced to deal with you numerous selfies, they actually think negative about you. For starters, it seems like you are desperate for attention, recognition, and acceptance. All this wrapped with a ribbon of mental instability.

Uploading five selfies in a row that are from the same scene with only slight variance in angle could mean a deeper issue. You either belong to the nut house but no one is paying enough attention to your mental issue or you are an idle person. Let’s be real for a minute. Where did you even get the time to take a thousand identical pics of yourself? This wouldn’t even be an issue if you stopped at that. However, you went ahead and posted every single one of them, sat back and patiently waited for the likes and comments to trickle in. This could only mean that you obviously have too much time on your hands to waste.

So you and a bunch of friends had fun on the great outdoors, huh? Well, guess what, we all do. Is the posting of a million pics about it meant to prove that you have friends, go for adventures and reminding us of your existence? The more you do this, the more your character seems unimaginative, boring and void. And you still wonder why you’re single? Hint, hint!
Lately, there’s this social media craze over taking selfies from above. One annually is perfectly fine but kindly, do not over do it. Actually, such a selfie most of the times means that you are hiding chin fat. We’ll all assume this so the more you do it the more you’ll be confirming it.

A single picture speaks a thousand words while a repetition of selfies sadly speaks 20. Posting a sole pic of your night out will engage your followers as they actually have fun trying to depict the mystery story behind it. So don’t ruin it, resist the urge to post the 33 similar pics next to it in your phone’s gallery.

Besides the attention seeking characters who assume that their social media friends and followers enjoy their never ending pics of them, we have to look at it at different angle. It wouldn’t be fair to assume that everyone who has this addiction belong to the same group. Some people have been mentally or physically abused hence using the social media platform to gain acceptance and recognition. Have masses of people liking and commenting on the photos makes them feel worthy and accepted. It acts as some of therapy to them. If you can relate then be advised that there is a better way to handle it. Gaining acceptance and favor from people who aren’t actually in your life gives you false hope. It is best that you speak to a professional, vent all of your bottled up feelings and thoughts and get an experts input on the situation. You will be surprised at how better you will feel after the sessions. The best thing is that you will receive practical advice to help you move on, love & accept yourself, forgive and most importantly heal. Once this occurs, you will not need anyone else’s approval.
