What motivates a selfie?

What is a selfie? Okay, obviously I know what a selfie is, not born under a rock. To me the important question is why? Why do you selfie? Is there something to be gained from selfies all over the internet?

Insecurity and validation. An obsessive need to be constantly complimented whether genuine or not to feel worthy.

@RogueLoner Good point, except how many people face annihilation if they are not hitting certain key points? If their selfies are obliterated or even worse ignored?

@Ladyred All I know is that I do NOT belong on the internet social sites. I just don't get it. 🤷‍♂️ I'm too normal and real.

@RogueLoner I do miss good ole face time before the internet and this new horrible thing designed to separate us further from each other..(sigh)
