Selfies are, in a way, their own mirrors: they show our image for the world to see as we want to be seen, and they safeguard against the fear of losing control of our minds and lives. Selfies, as it turns out, are one of our natural instincts to reduce anxiety. The whole purpose behind taking a selfie is to show your mood or expression while you are doing or asked to do something.
Posting selfies may say something about you. Many selfies highlighting your physical appearance or lots of selfie collages may say you're a bit higher on some narcissism traits. ...

My perspective of why people are taking selfies is because they want attention to their companions or they just want attention from social media. Other people might see it as extreme, for example taking a selfie on a roof of a building and standing next to the edge of death while focusing on taking the absolute photo of the lifetime. This can be good for you and your status on social media but from the perspective from other people it's a problem that is getting out of hand.

I feel as if selfies is either something of needing acceptance from others or just documenting your daily life. When you or someone are to take a selfie online they take it it's either usually to feel like they need others approval for they way they look & act, or just to simply document their everyday lives. If someone posts a selfie in spite of acceptance or needing for responses on the way the look, they truly aren't embracing themselves.. they are shading away everyone about themselves. People who take selfies to document their lives don't take them for validation or acceptance but rather just to tell other people what is happening in their life without care about people's opinions. The group of people who take selfies to feel as if they need to be what people say is pretty and not themselves are like people who follow trends, hopping on the bandwagon. They also care about people's opinions rather then their own, they care not about themselves but rather other people's opinions.

I think we take selfies for many reasons. Some do it for fun or as the saying goes 'for the gram'. Others do it for self confidence and some do it for more personal reasons. Everyone has their reasons. In some it's to seek validation they might not get somewhere else. Some do it because they want to. And some just do it to show off. There isn't anything wrong with taking selfies but in some cases, as the article said, its an addiction.

I believe people take selfies so they can take the time to capture a special moment in their life. Like a roadtrip with their family or a birthday party or maybe a wedding. So now they have a selfie they can look back on. Then they post the selfie so that others can see and they can get their responses so they can get an ego boost and their confidence which makes people want to take more selfies and be more creative whilst taking them which then leads them to taking risks for a selfie or can cause mental health problems.

I think that there's a lot of reasons why we take selfies. It can be to show our family, friends or even other people what we did on a certain time, it can also be to show them our trips that we are currently doing and the one that I think it's the most important, save memories so we can go back and look over those times that we were hanging out with our friends having fun or an holiday on a family dinner. It is something good, when you are not doing it for others validation because it can cause you mental health problems.

People post selfies more often than not seeking validation or a form of instant gratification from others. It's these same people who spend hours scrolling social media in order to compare themselves with others. Social media often only shows a glimpse of a person's life. When one reaches an accolade, such as getting a degree, they often post it, however, it is unlikely you will see someone posting themselves failing a test. Many also post for attention or to show off, this includes posting a breakup or posting a new thing they've bought. Lastly, people post selfies for their fanbase, my uncle has 100k followers on Instagram (@thekdkm) and I always catch him posting some sort of shirtless selfie on his snap or the gram.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of times, people feel insecure about their appearance so they go online to seek validation from others. One thing they don't realize is that the complements of strangers usually don't mean that much to them, so they have to constantly post more photos so that their "quota" of compliments are fulfilled. It leads to a form of narcissism that relies on the constant support of others.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we post selfies and pictures on social media for a lot of reasons. It could be to show fun things we do with family/friends on vacation or just hanging out. We also take selfies when we are feeling pretty and wanna post a picture where you feel confident. We can post photos when we have reached a goal and want to show it off, such as birthdays and christmas presents or awards. Something negative about all of it is that we can become obsessive and compare yourself to other people.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that we take and post selfies for a couple reasons. The first reason is to document our adventures. We take a picture by ourselves or with others when traveling or experiencing something new. The other reason might be to show off our accomplishments to others. The issue with this is that it can lead to unhealthy self-esteem, especially if we associate the number of likes to how we view and judge ourselves.
