I was browsing Facebook and all I see on my wall were selfies of friends. I envy the confidence they have to post their selfies. I mean, I am not much into that. I like pictures, do not get me wrong. I take selfies too. But i do not so much post them on my social media. And I prefer taking pictures with friends - capturing the moment.
So, taking solo pictures of your face on different angles and doing different "wacky" poses with your face and post millions of those shots on facebook?
I am a little bothered, and to be honest, it somehow irritates me to see several photos of the same face on my wall. I guess it won't be so irritating if they, uhm, look pleasing. Sorry, am I being so mean?

I am also not like to take selfies, it irritates me to see so many people doing nowadays. So I think you are not being mean at all, every one of us has different interests though.

@wongchoiyee yeah, that is another thing. and i guess it is a global trend to take a pic of the food before devouring it.

I do not care much for selfies either. I only take them when there is a reason too. I use them for different websites. I also like pictures with others to capture a moment like with my son. I know people who like to take selfies and do not see the appeal.

@Yadah04 I think any parent who loves their child may do that.

I take simple selfies of myself, I don't pose in odd ways.

@Yadah04 I usually take selfies of me at home, very rarely in public.

@LeaPea2417 yeah, it needs much confidence to smile in front of the camera in public.

I honestly feel the same way. There are few far in between selfies that I actually am moved to blast to the public. I've withdrawn a lot of selfie data from my social networks. I get shy after a while.
