5 Reasons Why We Take And Post Selfies. by Techm8: 10:11am On May 04, 2017
Is there's anyone up in here that do not take selfies? Lemme see your hands up..... Nobody? I thought as much. We all do. In fact, some more than others. Some people can barely go a day without taking one. OEM'S understands this that's why they make Smartphones with awesome camera; like Google pixel, iPhone 7 and even the Tecno Camon CX that I'm using to post this. These Smartphones make taking selfies fast and easy and they come out crystal clear.

Here are 5 reasons that fuel our desire to take and post selfies.

1. We want to be loved
Humans crave validation. When we post a selfie for the World to see, we eagerly await for the likes and comments to show up from family, friends and strangers. We stick around for a few minutes after posting them and refresh the page like our lives depends on it just to see how quickly they start rolling in. Why? Because these likes and comments make us feel loved and.

2. For Validation
Humans crave validation. Those aforementioned likes and comments also make us feel accepted it provide an added sense of validation that can help the way we view ourselves. “I posted a picture of my face and 50 people liked it! Wow! Maybe they think I’m cool, good-looking, fun or maybe they want to slide in my DM?!” These are the sort of things run through our minds. Maybe we just want to know that someone else cares about us, that they see us or that we matter.

3. For Confidence
Taking a selfie where you can recognise all your beautiful physical characteristics can have a pretty positive effect on your mood.

4. To Capture The Moment.
There are instances in which we want to capture a moment, for our own memory or to share with others. A selfie is part of the experience and it can enhance the moment.

5. Everyone's Doing It, So Why Shouldn't 1?
Everywhere you look on the internet, there's always a Selfie staring right back at you. Tens of Millions of photos are uploaded on social Media daily and a huge chunk of those are selfies. So, we're like; why don't we join in on the Craze! grin


why do you take selfies? Feel free to add yours.

So take that selfie today. You’re gorgeous! (Maybe) grin

i agree with your point 2.

Humans are suckers for validation and it's not a good thing. You see someone getting bragging about how many likes they get as if it's a reflection of their awesomeness​.

Regardless of the number of likes your Selfie gets you're still awesome.

TO FAKE REALITY.
.
Some people take like 50 camera shots of themselves at different angles, settle down and select d best shot....won't stop at dat, still filter d whole pix and then post it.
.
Wen you fall for their bait and ask them out....you will start hearing some low esteem replies like... I am not dat fine oooo, ......I know u like gals wit big butt or boobs, I dnt have dem oooo,... . I jus started my menstrual cycle today so it caused pimples all over my face...I am not dat tall oooo.
.
For Christ sake then why fake it if u have to subject urself to unsolicited rejoinders undecided

It shows self approval. That you are confident of yourself and wants to be seen as what you present.

It is not for confidence but a show of confidence.
