Does anybody think that people are becoming addicted to selfies?

These days it is becoming unusual to see someone without a mobile phone. I know of people who have set off for somewhere only to realise that they don't have their phone. When they realised that they left the phone at home they turned around to go back to get it. I personally do not take selfies, but I do like to see them and I am often in them when out with friends who like to post on sites like Facebook. I think that taking selfies is here to stay, though I wish people would not take them in situations where they should be giving their full attention to what they are doing. I think more than one young person has lost their life through taking a selfie at the wrong time in the wrong place.

It is getting boring actually. lol

they sure are.Everyone taking selfie.The young and the old.

I think it is, sadly, I mean one now and then is ok, but people seem to take more of their face than the pretty things around them!

I used to take selfies when the word didn't exist....but since the trend emerged I found it quite pointless to take pics of yourself wherever you go and whatever you do. I mean a selfie now and then is okay, but it's ridiculous to take them all the time in every situation. This new addictive behavior should be curbed (although I dunno how).

Yes! Sometimes it is really annoying! People don't even pay attention to you or what you're trying to do and they end up getting in your way...all for a picture!

Yes, it seems this is the trend of today but I have found it is mostly by the younger people.

Horrible yes..it is like everyone are in love with their faces so much..very annoying

It seems that young people like that a lot. I suppose it comes with the fact that even babies own cellphones with cameras lately.

Lol this was suggested to me! There was a time that I took selfies for 30 days as an experiment. I just wanted to see how my looks changed, especially during the stressed-out days. Well, it was just a personal thing for me so I guess there's nothing wrong with it.

It's an obsession, clearly! Taking selfies has become such a common thing..

I see it all the time, and it doesn't please me. If you could a) view one of Monet's Giverny water lily paintings at the Met, carefully study his brush strokes, and then view it at various distances to see how it comes into focus, with incredible depth cues, at a certain distance away, or 2) take a dang selfie in front of the painting and then move on, which would you do? Grr.

Yeah, don't get me started on this @umer121 . It's bad enough people can't drive without a cell phone in their hand, now they have to take a picture of doing everything. It's ridiculous; a bunch of 2-year olds.

it become a new treand my lots of friend says that lets take selfies but not said strightly that lets take photo togather

It is just a fad until something else takes over ! Right now , no one wants to be left behind in taking selfies with everyone possible..

It's a curious thing. I'm amazed at how often some people change their profile pictures on Facebook, as an example. Do we think an experience isn't real unless we can see ourselves there?

I don't get this selfie phenomena at all. It's really tiresome to see people who constantly post a selfie every 5 min.

And everyone second person has one of those extender selfie sticks as well. I can't imagine what they do with all their photos. I suppose they put them on Facebook.

selfies are exhibit the life styles . so only people addicted to selfies . many leaders are also involving to take selfies .

I think a lot of people can become addicted to it. I dont take very many- but my cell phones broke and I never remember to bring my camera anywhere I go lol
