I think when I say insecure I mean more people who generally feel insecure, so they take lots of selfies and post the best ones online, on a regular basis, to fish for compliments in an attempt to convince themselves that they're good looking as a gap filling measure instead of actually dealing with their poor body image, if that makes sense. So it's not that they think the pictures are bad, it's that they think they themselves are bad and are posting filtered pictures of themselves from their best angles to try and get some form of validation to try and stop themselves from feeling so bad, but it's just a quick fix and it never works.
