A selfie is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often shared on social networking services such as Instagram, Snapchat, and Tumblr. In this day and age selfies are the thing almost everyone is taking them. Some of our favorite celebrities take them all the time. Is it possible that selfies, the trend of taking pictures of oneself, could cause narcissism, addiction, mental illness and even suicide? That’s what seems to be suggested by expert opinion surrounding the phenomenon, and a man diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder says he grew suicidal due to his addiction to taking selfies. Danny Bowman says he became so obsessed with trying to take the “right” selfie that he ended up shooting about 200 pictures a day while trying desperately to capture the perfect image of himself. Do you feel like this is true or maybe it all depends on the person. People take selfies everywhere i.e.: the gym, while driving, shopping, eating, in the bathroom, at work just about everywhere. Do you take selfies? Do you take just one or do you take them until you get the perfect one? How many selfies have you taken in a day? We want to see your selfies feel free to tag #STG and share with us your work selfies.
