Thread: Are we giving more importance to selfies than reality?

Taking a photo only takes a millisecond of time, but I think more time is spent on making it perfect for instance going for edits and taking more of the same photos when being unsatisfied.

Self-control- this factor is important. This single unique factor could reduce the craziness itself. Also in a recent research, it has been proven that Selfies are mental disorders. Is it true?

It's not important to take a selfie at every precious moment, but we do that. If it's for memories, then fine. But if it's for publicity, then we should be ashamed of ourselves.

What's your opinion on this?

Hi Shana,
I too have this question! In my view we are too much into selfies which actually spoils the memories. One picture or two is more than enough for a memory but we keep clicking hundreds of them and end up wasting the valuable time which should be enjoyed.

Years before we take photographs only on special occasions and they last long as our memory, just think about our childhood photographs! But nowadays we have photos of almost everyday and every single instance of our life, I literally get confused which is the unforgettable day and which is an ordinary one !
I personally have reduced taking too many selfies, but couldn't stop my friends though

Beacon,

Agree with your point of view photos are like capturing the memories for a lifetime. but nowadays most of the youngsters focus on taking photos than actually enjoying the moment. As you said taking one or two pictures for the memory is fine. The sad thing is our youngsters are not like that so we wish they change their attitude. There is a saying " With whom you have less photos ,you have more memories with them"

For me, Selfies are like Autographs, its all depends on the way you take and use it

True, its all depends on the way how we use things
