Selfies to me feel...vain.
Let me begin by saying, this is my only "social media". I used to have it all. I used to spend hours taking pictures of myself. I had the realization of the grip social media had on me, and I gave it up. That was about 3 years ago. Now, when I think about myself taking a selfie, I cringe. It just doesn't feel right. What's worse is, when I see a selfie of someone else, I cringe. Especially men that I'm attracted to, because I am then slightly less attracted to them because they took a picture of themself. Then I feel guilty for cringing because this is such a normal thing in our society, but also I recognize I do want a man who would never even consider taking a selfie. I am aware how weird this is, please know that I am not judging anyone who takes pictures of themselves. Again, I have taken 12 million of myself (I do not take them anymore) and realize a lot of people do and it's very normal. Does anyone else feel this way? What are your thoughts?
