Selfies are social media’s latest and most popular trends. Almost everyone who is on social media has shared at least one selfie within a few days. It’s just unavoidable. Taking into account this trend, mobile app developers have created selfie apps that add photo-effects and appealing highlights to make your selfie look more glamorous!
The good part of such apps is that it makes us feel good about ourselves. If we are able to add good effects to our selfies we are bound to get a good amount of likes and shares! This puts us on the top of the world! The psychology behind this is that we do not see ourselves as who we actually are, but we love the image that others have of us.
The impact that others have on us is that huge!
Well the question remains, is this good or bad?
Some believe that selfies are good and that they boost our self esteem
Selfies capture moods. Teenage and some adults find this a great means of expressing themselves. This was not possible earlier. In today’s age where your general acceptance depends on the way you wear your hair, your outfit and your overall sense of fashion, selfies could help them determine what fashion and what style suits them the best. Instant sharing with friends and feedback could definitely boost confidence. Normally, appreciation for someone else’s looks does not come that frequently. With Facebook and other social media sites allowing comments and likes, appreciation comes easy and people do not hesitate to like a good selfie.
Some believe that selfies are harmful
Some believe that selfies are too self-gratifying and place more importance on an individual’s physical appearance. They believe that the personality does not depend on looks alone. The likes and comments that build self esteem could easily crush it too. Negative comments can easily crush your esteem.
