The SELFIE Craze...
(PART 2).. :D
Hellooooooo...well glad to be back again on this interesting topic...SELFIE!!!!! Alright..so yah as i had mentioned in my previous post, selfie could lead to narcissism. However, that is not the only bad effects of being constantly addicted to selfies. There are several other issues to be considered too. Okay, lets get down to this. In my personal opinion, there are both good and bad effects in constant selfie-ing.. Lets have a look at the negative effects first. Okay firstly I would say that constant selfie-ing consumes your precious time. It's true right!!! I mean I'm sure you would not be immediately satisfied with the single selfie that you took..I'm pretty sure you will be tempted to take selfies until you obtain your best shot. So that thought itself makes you to take tons and tons of selfies until you don't even realize how much time have passed..I remember reading this somewhere saying that "Behind every successful selfie, there are 99 failed and deleted shots" ..hahaha..it's kinda true right. Aiming for the perfect pose and shot, we sometimes get to involved in it that we even forget what's happening around us and how the time flies..Aside of wasting time on aiming for the perfect selfie, many also tend to waste time to edit the selfie to get an extra perfect look!!! And that takes like almost forever!!!Endless snap, edit..dissatisfied..delete..snap again...edit again...and this keeps on going on and on until finally we are really satisfied with it.. (which happens after a long period of time though :P)..
There is no use in storing up memories to be looked at in the future when you actually don't even enjoy yourself at that point of time. These behavior could also bring discomfort to your family and friends. They might have agreed to join you for a dinner or meet up with the idea of catching up with latest news, sharing some stories and have a good laugh at some jokes. However, your endless selfie-ing behavior probably will create a situation where there is less talk but more on hands on gadgets. I'm sure no one would like to have that kind of situation in a meet up. Then don't be surprised if next time you call your friend out, he or she turns down your offer!
Okay, now as for the positive side of selfie-ing...hmm..basically I think the good thing of selfie-ing is that you don't have the need to bother others to snap a picture of yours.
I mean yah who needs others help to snap your picture when you think you are looking on your best when you can do it on yourself. Anytime, anywhere..'click,click'..there we go,,the best shot of yours on your own.. :D
Other than, selfie-ing also boosts your self confidence..You tend to take the extra effort to be presentable each time when you take a selfie. So that definitely boosts your confidence level on your self image.
Lastly. I would say that selfie-ing is not a bad thing actually but it all depends on how regular are you doing it. There are limits for everything. Once you go beyond the limits, some good things can turn up to be too bad. The same goes with this selfie-ing thing. If you are still in your limits, then you are safe. But once you go off the limits, you will definitely pay the price for it. So, take selfies, enjoy yourself...but be in limits!!! I'm sure you can enjoy your life meaningfully then!!!!
That's all for now..see yah soon... :P
Besides that, I would also say that constant selfie-ing affects your quality time spent with your family and friends as well. Let's say you are having a family gathering or a day out with your friends after a long time. Of course it is a great occasion and a part of memories in your life. You would be excited to store up those memories and cherish those moments spent together by taking selfies, so that you can walk down the memory lane in the future. But what really happens is that, you get too engrossed in it and start selfie-ing instead of spending your time with your family and friends.
