People takes selfies completely different reasons. I think peoples motives are to have bragging rights, like, "I went out of the country this
summer, and you didn't."

People take selfies because it helps them with social media and to show people where they have been, or to brag about what they are doing. Selfies can also help with a job or to capture a moment.

I agree. People usually try to show how awesome their life is by taking selfies in front of famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower.

Selfies are completely healthy and normal if you are trying to commemorate an event with family or just by yourself. I think that selfies become unhealthy when you take them in order for approval from.

The reason people take selfies is to make themselves feel better about what the look like. People use filters and go to places that look like somewhere else to make them seem younger and more adventures.

People take selfies for one of two reasons:
a) Giving proof/bragging/sharing about being somewhere (usually either a vacation or a large event)

b) Sharing emotions or experiences, or presenting themself online, presenting a new outfit, hairstyle, etc.

In my opinion, people take selfies because they are trying to communicate showing themselves, which could fit into context when talking to a client for a business and asking what they look like so you can recognize them when you meet them. However, most of the time for social media, it is to gain popularity, which makes the person taking the picture feel good about themselves when they get likes.

People take selfies usually because of three options: they're trying to share their experiences with other people in the form of a selfie, they're just taking a picture of themselves and/or something, or they're just posting it for reasons of narcissism/social media.

# data[].attributes.body
People usually take selfies to show other people what they are doing at any given time and day but it is also a fun way to express what they are doing and a way that they can see themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
People take selfies to usually show places they have been, how they're feeling, and just feel better about them self. They do it with pleasure sometimes fake it, for the reason above. In addition, our obsession with selfies is because we retake pictures to get a closer image of what we think makes us look better.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main reason that people take selfies is that scientifically, humans like to be part of a group. Back when we weren't as safe as we are in modern times, this trait was essential to survive. Now, however, it isn't as important, but this trait is still there. So when selfies became popular, everyone wanted to become pat of the trend.

People don't know how they look at any given time, so they take pictures of themselves to know how they actually look and to boost their self-confidence.

The real reason people take selfies is to make them fell better about what the look like.  People use filters and go to places that look like somewhere else to make them seem younger and more adventures.

I feel that people take selfies to show that they have visited cool places, or done cool things, to get attention and feel good about themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Selfies are occasionally beneficial and helpful due to their proficiency in showing oneself to the world, and as long as they aren't endangering themselves or others, then those who desire to take selfies may. Another perspective is that they deflect the purpose of taking a photo in the first place, since the majority of selfies are taken in an interesting setting or area, but since solo selfies are mostly for narcissists (in my opinion), its a good method to release all of their narcissism into one platform.

I think people take selfies to express themselves through photos, and to show that they are better than other people. I also think that selfies are a way to show yourself to other people in a way that feels normal.

I have learned that selfies are just illustrated lies. They may look like a way to peek into someones life, but what you are really seeing are what a person wants to be. You only see the best looking parts of their life.You can never know whats the truth or not in a selfie

People take selfies because they want to know more about themselves and others. Since we cannot see our own faces, looking at an image of yourself is interesting.

People take selfies because it gives them the power to choose how they want to look instead of having their image decided by someone else.

People take selfies to show off what they do in life.I also think people take selfies to boost their own confidence and feel better about themselves.

People take selfies because they apparently must take selfies to boost their self-esteem and give themselves some sort of purpose in the public, when really there are other ways to boost that and there is no need to put yourself in that position.

People take selfies because everyone else is doing it, but in truth they feel bad about themselves and don't know what to do with their own social media except copy others.

People judge themselves harder than others. This causes humans to selfie with a specific look goal. Selfies look weird in that way.
