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?

People enjoy appreciating and being appreciated for their qualities. Whether it is intelligence or amazing hair.

@Miram Do you think selfies have replaced face to face contact? Especially in these trying times?

@Ladyred That's a good question. I think they are more common when people have things to celebrate and go out but with the lockdown people are left with little means to socialize and maybe yeah, some are trying to entertain themselves by taking selfies and sharing them.

I don't think it can replace in person connections though. Online friendships are pretty limited, everyone needs more
