Why do some people (mainly girls) take so many pictures of themselves?

Well they're not hurting anyone. I'd rather they stayed home and posted 200 pictures than went and hung out on a street corner drinking stella :wink:

This is something that has always baffled me. I'm sure most people know the type, the old 'my space pose', the 'duckface' and people who take pictures of their own reflection in the mirror. Just why? I can understand one or two but some people are obcessed with it.

Just puzzles me, like what would compel someone to keep doing this. Do they just think, 'I'm bored, I know I'll take some more pictures of myself'!? :s-smilie:

Also they seem to have a weight on the side of their head making it tilt to one side, pretty odd i know.

I find the people who do that normally are people with insecurities or issues. So yes, it is to boost their self esteem.

To admire my beauty

Some people feel they need to prove that they have a social life.

My friend has hundreds of photos. Only like 20 of them are her with other people. The rest of them are her in her room posing. Saaaaad.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA WATCHING DVD. ARENT WE CUTE! twitpic of friend and her pouting

"BET YOU ARE LOVING THIS SPAM" twitpic of her in jeans and a t-shirt

Everyday. It's unreal. My photos are randoms of me with friends, a few of me when I've dyed my hair or cut it or got a new tattoo and a few stupid ones (like photos of us next to something funny).

Because maybe they feel insecure about their appearance so they put on makeup and take lots of photos with flattering lighting/camera angle etc (or that's how they see it) and put it all these pretty photos on FB for everyone to see.

I am so glad I'm not young today. Social media when I was a lad was a poster on the school noticeboard announcing forthcoming activies at the local youth club.
