Re: Addiction
Like Pixie, I only take a selfie for reference when I go to the hairdresser, and if the photo is OK I'll use it as my profile pic on Facebook.I can't see the point of continually taking selfies. Even if I was 40 years younger, and the resulting photo was therefore rather more attractive than now, I still don't see why I would need to repeat the process several times a day. That really is disturbingly obsessive.

She doesn't delete the horrid things either. She is a witch!

Re: Addiction
I love to take pictures. I took a selfie on Friday with my great niece and her best friend because we had such a lot of fun and I think it's important to make memories.I really regret not having more selfies taken with my Mum and my Sister who have both passed and I won't let that happen again, I take selfies with my Dad on a regular basis because I want lots of photos.
I take selfies of myself when I've had my hair done and I had a lot of photographs taken of me alone when I was on my weight loss journey. I really enjoyed watching my weight reduce and comparing photos.
I don't think there is anything wrong with taking selfies, I love to see selfies of my friends on facebook but I have to say I despise all that horrible pouting. One of my nieces does it and I told her her smile is so much better than a silly pout. She still pouts though *tut*
To be honest I don't see anything wrong in taking selfies, it's good to be confident enough to share photos of oneself and it's good to get and give compliments, it does the esteem the world of good.
Heck I've even taken a selfie when I've just woke up and looked a bugger, it gave people a laugh and that was my aim.
I never use filters, what's the point? I do know many who use filters and they are so young? What's that about. I don't like the wrinkles appearing but they define my maturity and who I am today.

Re: Addiction
I love to look back at photos of myself running various events, it creates a personal record of those events, and hopefully when I'm gone they will provide my daughter and granddaughters an insight into my history. I wish I had more photos of my parents. They provide many happy memories. Also old holiday photos of the clothes I used to wear, and the hairstyles. I'm not obsessed by taking selfies, but I think they come in useful, especially in the future.
