Self expression, ego & selfie discussion

Everyone would prefer to be loved for who they are and not how they look, but when love fails to present itself when the inner self is revealed, one of the quickest mends to the ego is to share the physical self because of how quickly and massively it can garner a response. It may not be actual love, but when you need to be reminded that you’re seen as desirable to the opposite sex...kind of like a payback to those who rejected you when you opened up to them and the “told you so” comes in the form of likes and empty compliments...the selfies are the most effective go-to for an ego mend and boost.

People have become too busy and even too committed to the life they have chosen to be bothered with taking in a lot of the deep-seeded information that can come from another, so for the sake of feeling something...a spark that can make someone living a mundane life feel alive...selfies are actually sought after.

In reality the one snapping away is usually wanting one specific person to openly appreciate the selfie put out there. The smile captured in thirty pictures, the pose, the desire conveyed is geared to that one person who they’re begging to love them, aching for their approval because their unfortunately someone who lacks a healthy form of self-love. And I hate to say it, but I think that’s a majority of the population. But when a person is vulnerable and needing to be reminded that they’re worthy of love they’ll share the winning image that displays their want the most with the masses thinking they have a better shot at getting the one reply they’re seeking, but using any others that come as proof that anyone would be lucky to have them in their life.

The selfie game is so strong these days because I think love...true, stick with you until your dying day spent holding the hand of your one...is harder to find in an easily distracted/hard to maintain attention of/cave under pressure ridden world. And technology has given us countless options to find love, acceptance, and appreciation through a click of an empty grayed out heart just begging to be touched for a little bit of color.
