Let me tell you I don't. I don't like taking pictures of myself, nor to I like to pose/even sit for one. I am kind of a private person. I never post my pictures on any social networking sites and tell anyone who has tagged my picture to remove it. Why do you like to take selfies? Are they mostly pictures of yourself or with others? Do you sometimes/rarely take extreme challenges for a selfie? Do you like posting them on social networking sites? Could you explain why you like doing this. Thanks

I don't like taking selfies, but I like them better than having others take my picture because at least I can discard the ones I hate.

@Rollo1 Okay you have a good point here, I didn't think of it because I usually discard all pictures I am present in .. so how often do you take selfies?

The only selfies I take are when I need a headshot. Not my thing.

@BelleStarr I can understand that. Don't you even take group selfies any time?

Just like you , i don't like taking selfies . I try them but it's just on my cellphone for me to see . But i love having a picture of me taken specially those stolen shots , like me smiling while looking at others ( our driver did that and showed it to me from his phone and had him send it to me via bluetooth . ) and group pictures . I choose what pictures to post at FB , besides my FB is private and only for my family and closest relatives .

@sofssu For my selfies , which i take when i am at the bedroom when i am still alone , that's only for me to see if i look good on selfie. But i post only what i seem to see as nice. For family pictures i also choose . The ones who can see are my chosen relatives and chosen friends only , but not by friends of friends .

@SIMPLYD I am sure you look good judging from your profile pics elsewhere. By the way why didn't you use a self pic here? if you don't mind my asking.

@SIMPLYD Okay, now I get it. So you have it on your cellphone and you post it on a FB for your family. Its kind of semi private. I am glad you enjoy taking those pictures.

I believe I gave you my views on this topic once already at that other place, but will answer it again. I absolutely HATE having my picture taken, and the whole selfie thing is about vain. It is not something I do, want to do, or will do! It's a battle for me to even take family photos. Now I don't mind taking pictures of others.

@sofssu Yes, it is fun. Oh now, I see nothing wrong with that. It just means ya'll know each other very well, and that is a great thing.

@amnabas So you like to take pics when you're alone? Is boredom motivating you to take those selfies. I your kids reaction to your selfies is interesting.. do the boo you because the selfies are not good or because you are even taking them?

I like the idea of selfie, but when I'm the one who's doing it its like so not cool I've always tried to take a selfie and I always end up deleting it haha! I look like a sh**t swear ... Maybe I don't really enjoy taking selfies ((:

@Haveyouseenthatgirl Maybe all you need is a little practice and maybe a selfie stick If its just a matter of taking good pictures. Maybe you you could try taking we fies and ask the other person to do it.

@Haveyouseenthatgirl Aww.. Is that what puts you off selfies..because you think you do not look good in them?

@Cristi_Ichim I don't have a problem either, unless I am forced to be in the 'We fie'

Not a big fan of selfies here. I don't even like my photo to be taken if I'm the only one in it. Group selfies are okay though, I think it's called "we-fie" or something.
