Have you ever taken a "selfie"?

From what I understand, "selfies" are picture people take of themselves. I don't understand why someone would take a selfie when there are interesting things in the environment to photograph, but I'm told it's become something of a trend, especially among the young. A couple of years ago, my friends and I payed a "gig" at a local Cafe as part of some sort of "street fair" that was going on. There was a booth there that offered free "silly photographs," so we availed ourselves of the opportunity. Does this count as a "selfie"? I am not a big fan of narcissism, as "narcissistic personality disorder" is a psychological diagnosis, and one that's not easy to change. But I did allow myself to be part of some "silly" photographs that night. I have, to this date, still never taken a selfie. Would you ever take a selfie? Would you allow yourself to be part of a "silly" photograph, as I did?

No, this is not a selfie, to take a selfie you have to keep your camera, point it to your face and shoot, This is why all selfies are ugly. I do not take selfies.

@Marty1 No, if there is not your face it's not a selfie. I never tried to take one.

Now that I think about it, I've take a couple, but not of my face. I've taken pictures of injuries I sustained.

@Marty1 To me, it's a strange thing to do. Is the Grand Canyon prettier with or without two or three wahoos in front of it, looking like idiots?

I might be part of a silly photo but I'd never take a selfie. I can't think of anything worse. Besides, I don't have a phone to do it with.

I have never taken a selfie and have no interest in doing so. I see my image every day and don't need to record it for posterity.

Selfies usually look like selfies to me. There's no "relationship" with another. This picture of me could only have been taken by my music friend Kathy, as she makes me smile like nobody else does.

I've taking several pictures of Mike and I but not of me only. Silly pictures are fun, only did that once with Mike. I'd rather take pictures of our cats, Mike or God's creation be it flowers, the sky, mountains whatever. Since I got my smart phone a few years back I think I take picture of something around me at least once a day.

@TheHorse It's more cool taking pictures of others just like professional photographers. But it's hard to pick subjects.

I've only taken selfies of injuries. And of myself in equine form. But I had help, as hooves make the use of a camera difficult.

To me a selfie is more than a picture, it’s a snapshot of memories and moments and also helps self esteem issues. Perhaps this is wrong of me. Works for me though.

I'd rather a picture of me taken by someone else, as the photo can reflect the relationship between the two people.

I often avoid selfie, it sounds a silly thing to do. Yet recently I had to do some paperwork which needs a passport type photo. I didn't want to drag my old body out into the cold and wet weather, so I did a number of selfies. Chose the best one, and voila. The online renewal of whatever it was (government related), approved that photo and the paperwork. (I saved myself about ten to fifteen bucks just for that passport photo! Can't complain - even if it was so like a mugshot!)
