Selfies – A Self Obsession
Do you like to take selfies? How many do you take per day? Do you post it on social media to get some beautiful comments or just keep it to yourself? Well, everybody does that but the intensity varies.
What is Obsession:
Obsession is a feeling of being in love with something and repeating it again and again. It might be something related to others or related to one’s own self. You can get obsessed with a song, a person, a food item or your own personality.
How taking selfies can lead to self-obsession?
Taking one or two selfies a day doesn’t leads to self-obsession but taking hundred to thousand selfies a day can surely lead you to it but the question is what does self-obsession mean? It means loving yourself so much that it takes you away from being normal. You get into it so much that you can’t tolerate if someone doesn’t praise you or like your pictures on social media. You start taking the stress and ultimately suffer from depression. This happens when your intensity of self-obsession goes to a dangerous peak.
