Selfies
 

What is your opinion on selfies?

They are for teenage girls who are usually looking up with their lips puckered

grim

annoying and usually posted by teenagers on FB or wherever looking for compliments

Uh ma gawd I'm horrid in this pic, my eyes are so puffy Lolz #wannadie

No they aren't Chantelle they are radiant and beautiful just like you

Awwwwwwwwww thx Lv u 2 wifey4lifey x x x

:laugh: exactly, If I took a picture of myself that i thought was horrible, I certainly wouldn't be posting it on the internet

I have no problem with them at all

I don't know why they're all the craze now; they were around years ago around the time of MySpace

They were around in real life as well, they just didn't have the name selfie.

Can someone edit that kid out, It's gonna make me feel right guilty with him standing there.

awful inventions.

Overrated and annoying.

empowering

D: NOooo! Little boy, you'll lose the hand!!! D:

They're just photos. People have been taking pics o themselves way before this generation.

Self obsession - Yuukk

Don't really have an opinion.

They're fine, I just hate how they've become a "thing".

and they spawned this horrible song

I officially hate them now.

:laugh:

This is way funnier than it should be :laugh2:

I take loads on my phone but never upload them

I think they're good because it shows what you really look like, cause when you see yourself in the mirror you don't usually look the way you think you look. It's kind of like hearing your own voice in a recording, you don't really know how other people see/hear you. Selfies are better than using a mirror when you want to know how you look.

I agree with this, but selfies as there now called, have been around since cameras began really when u think about it.

depends... if its the one off for a profile pic or w.e then fair enough

but someone who does them several times a week, then piss off.

oh and duck lips are ****ing ugly as hell. makes you look retarded, not cute.

:clap1:

I take loads of selfies, I barely ever upload them though. I don't mind other people uploading them though unless they look perfect or edited and the person is like 'looking rough today' then it's just attention seeking tbh.

I don't mind them in small doses. Like I take selfies and at most it becomes a profile picture on Facebook once or twice a year.

Can't stand these people who post a selfie every 2 seconds of the day though. Eurgh.

Selfies have been around since the 1800s really, only took off more in the 1900s and then from 2005 it hit off as more of a 'thing'. It's only such a big thing now though because of the internet and the media.

it's genuinely beyond me that so many people hate someone taking a picture of themselves.

I don't mind selfies.

Overuse of the and trout pouts are VERY annoying though.

I don't mind them, but what I do find annoying is people who are constantly posting them. A selfie itself isn't the issue, it's how often a person takes them and shares them that is. Also on a related note, I have quite big lips and it really ****ing gets on my tits when I get accused of putting on a duckface - IT'S HOW I BLOODY LOOK, I CAN'T HELP HAVING A GORGEOUS TOP LIP

It's funny cos if you actually changed what you said to...

....You would not only be more factually correct in terms of what people have said on this thread but you also wouldn't be twisting words to make it sound like people are annoyed over nothing.

Just saying.

I don't have a problem with people taking pictures of themselves, it just reaches a level of irritation when every time you look online there's hundreds of selfies from people, doing their best to look sexy and attractive but yet include the tag 'I look so horrible lolz' and then bask in the attention and the compliments that they fished for, it's annoying, if you think you look like ****, don't post the goddamn picture :fist:

:laugh2: Brilliant.

...hawwwww..:laugh:..just think, you were born with that asset and others are paying a lot of money to look like you....maybe you were the original selfies that all others have tried to imitate...so it's your fault..:fist:...I knew it/Z strikes again....

Yeah like some people said I don't mind people taking them but when your uploading them like 2 or three times a week that's when it gets annoying. I don t really take selfies myself but don't mind other people taking them

A guy I know (I was going to say "a guy I'm friends with" but I haven't seen him in about 3 years and I sort of dislike him now because...) has, I'd say, on Instagram, about 90% selfies and 10% other things and he posts two or three times a day. At best he's a 4.5/10. STOP IT.

...hmmmm, that made me cringe a little bit though because although it might be a bit too much, is it not a good thing that he obviously has a lot of confidence in himself and how he looks..?...I mean with the selfies in general, it at least shows people are confident with their physical appearance..

I think there's a line between happy with how you look and compliment fishing that isn't always so obvious; this guy hashtags all his photos with very specific hashtags to make sure he gets lots of likes and most of his selfies are basically the same photo over and over; couple that with it being on Instagram, meaning you see them regularly, and it becomes irritating. I think if you were happy with how you looked and wanted to be complimented, it's fine to post one every once in a while; but if you're doing it regularly and hashtagging it to the high heavens, it's attention seeking and annoying. Seeking attention in itself isn't annoying; it's just that constantly posting the same selfie over and over is annoying AND attention seeking for the same compliments and not being satisfied with them so doing it again...

I think people who post the most selfies are either deeply unhappy with how they look or are so happy with how they look that they're arrogant about it.
