Excess Selfie Is Linked To Body Image Disorder, Mental Health Problems And More by allgoodlight(m): 8:50pm On Nov 11, 2017
The invention of front camera open the flood of photos littered on social media and galleries of smart phones through the medium of selfies. Self-snapping is not bad in itself, some people have taking selfie to extreme a form of obsession. Selfie is most common among females, males too are not exempted. Current research have associated selfie to mental disorder, loneliness, relationship issues etc. Certain hidden behaviour is linked to self-snappers or selfie takers as listed below:

SHARING LOTS OF SELFIES
Researchers from Ohio State University (OSU) found that individuals who share lots of selfies online actually display clinical psychopathic traits, including Shallow emotions (emotions may be felt but in shallow and fleeting ways),
Callousness and lack of empathy,
Failure to accept responsibility for own acts, Promiscuous sexual behavior
Many marital relationships, A lack of realistic, long-term goals, Impulsivity, Irresponsibility, Poor behavior controls. The higher the traits the more one is likely to be psychopathic.

MEN WHO ALTER THEIR PHOTOS
Men who digitally alter their selfie photos before sharing them, say experts, may be exhibiting narcissistic tendencies and unhealthy patterns of self-objectification.

They doctor their photos to make themselves look especially attractive; including the perception that they can only relate to others by feeling more intelligent and attractive than them.

Moreso, social and personal relationship with this individual men can be frustrating and demanding. They care less of you tends to be in control in most cases in fact you are their puppet. They are not flexible by nature often like to put their desires above others even if it is detrimental to themselves or others.

They are so ingrain in to their core self, manipulative, judging, dominating, authoritarian by nature with hidden jealousy. Go extra mile to look good, attractive and catchy even if it is financially straining and draining.

SELFIE IS LINKED TO BODY IMAGE DISORDER
Some people have doubts about their own looks. They might think that they are ugly or not good looking enough even though they are good looking. Recent studies have linked excessive selfie taking with body image disorders.

People who have low self-esteem or inferiority complex are likely to doubtful their own looks or attractiveness they might start taking many selfies in order to find the perfect shot that makes them look better.

HEAVY SELFIE USERS ARE ATTENTION SEEKERS
Scientific research also, linked excessive taking of selfies with attention and approval seeking. The person who takes many selfies might be insecure about their state of being liked by people as such, they might consider self-snaping as a yardstick to get approval from others.

RAMPANT SELFIE TAKERS ARE VIEWED AS LESS ATTRACTIVE AND LESS LIKEABLE.
According to a new study by researchers, you’re not as beautiful as your narcissistic self might lead you to believe. Adding to that the researchers also claimed in their study that people who are very self-absorbed and take too many selfies are more narcissistic, less attractive and less likeable to other people. The other people here are all people who aren’t crazy about selfies and that means the majority doesn’t like you, so stop being so self-obsessed.

According to the research selfie pros and the selfie noobs often rate themselves way more attractive that they actually were when they were told to rate themselves. However, when others rated their selfie's they rate noobs selfie lower and pros lowest. In general people tends to rate normal photograph more than selfie. So people liking your selfie on social media doesn't mean you are attractive or likeable it is most likely for just mere like.

YOU ARE A LONER OR LONELY
Scientists have warned those who constantly take pictures of themselves are more likely to be lonely. Experts believe both men and women who have lonely personalities tend to take more selfies for approval from other people.

A loner tends to like selfie of others on the social media more than those who are not heavy self-snappers, due to their social loneliness. Findings shows that lonely people take several selfie photos than average individuals who engage in different activities.
