Science Confirms Selfies Are Linked To Mental Disorders

[Transhumanist]

Yes, very much so I'm afraid.

That said, I don't condemn all selfies, I like them sometimes too .

This form of bada**ery is acceptable:

@Transhumanist - Norwegian selfie

Oh and taking pictures of yourself is fine sometimes as well.

Looks like me when I'm going clubbing

Science Confirms Selfies Are Linked To Mental Disorders

who really need confirmation from some foreign Scientists .....

 

[Maira La]

all hail allama strangelove not a single selfie ..................beat me

Sure, I've taken negative selfies, where the camera takes a snapshot of the direction opposite to me. That combined with no selfies gives me negative points.. beat me!

Women more likely to take selfies than men, survey confirms


Men Take Way More Selfies Than Women

he study is slightly wrong here... selfies are not because of narcissism ( how does duck-face look nice?? )... selfies are mental weakness related to the same phenomenon of zero-figure and "fitness" among females... essentially, extreme desire in conforming to a capitalist-consumerist spreading of ideal behavior.

Oh come on!!!
I feel the scientists who come up with such theories and proof 're those who have an inferiority complex about their looks.
Its okay to click your own photo. I mean what's the big deal?

In my opinion religious extremists 've mental disorders.

yea prob the word is loosely used ...

But vanity is getting really out there...I mean really how many people RE DO their selfies..or snap hundreds ...

it is not vanity at all... i have described it earlier...

the study is slightly wrong here... selfies are not because of narcissism ( how does duck-face look nice?? )... selfies are mental weakness related to the same phenomenon of zero-figure and "fitness" among females... essentially, extreme desire in conforming to a capitalist-consumerist spreading of ideal behavior.

I found it interesting but not exactly FASCINATING ...maybe if they put some people with such attitude in an MRI or stick some probes to measure the brain activities then I would be happier

there would be no point to that... eradicating consumerism would be the simplest solution to such accepted but insane behaviors.

The duck face once upon a time looked nice...Now it looks shitty coz it is overdone and is the basis of anything going bad...Overdoing....

 

[jamahir]

I can't....I have the even more loony habit of talking to myself !

For some reason thinking out loud helps me think about something in a better manner; from afar it seems as if you are a crazy person !

i too do this... and this habit is good, of course when done in isolation.

your "better manner" line is quite true, and it also helps me practice for my little speeches locally, and my occassional little poems.

i also like walking around in circles on the carpet.

This form of bada**ery is acceptable:

very acceptable.

A 21-YEAR-OLD Russian woman shot herself in the head when she tried to take a selfie with a pellet gun pointed at her temple, Moscow police report.

When trying to take the selfie in her office on Thursday, she pulled the trigger of an air gun left behind by a security guard.

She survived the accident, but was hospitalised.

Also on Thursday, a Russian man nearly lost his life while trying to take a selfie while climbing an arched bridge in central Moscow.

The man plunged to the ground and hit the asphalt, but also managed to survive despite having suffered several injuries, for which he was also hospitalised.

The self-portrait taken with a mobile phone or webcam has led to numerous accidents, some with tragic results.

On Monday, a ninth grader died in the Russian city of St Petersburg after falling from a fifth-floor fire escape, which he had climbed to take a selfie.

i have long pooh-poohed selfies, much before this research... do i have inferiority complex about my looks?? ( though i don't like my teeth ).

Its okay to click your own photo. I mean what's the big deal?

it is perfectly normal to have your picture taken, by others... it is a matter of talent to be a true photographer and take good pictures of the scenery or situation... however, thrusting oneself beside the human subject for a selfie or having a group selfie or forcing such a situation is unclean and not classy.

but very occassionally, a self-picture or two is not bad... one or two, i must stress.

we had a thread, remember??

Indonesia considering banning non-virgin girls from graduating high school
(I was shocked when I read this report)

this certainly is also mental disorder... indonesia at present is really a cleaner version of india and pakistan... the mullahs there are essentially deobandi ( orig. deoband mullah college, uttar pradesh state, india ) and one of its indonesian products is the "jemah islamiyah" criminal/reactionary/psychopath group that is now involved in terrorism in syria.

indonesia at one time had progressive communists, even during the modern parts of holland's occupation... in the 60's, the communists were massacred in huge numbers by the reactionary elements among the security forces, guided as ever by usa government... the british socialist, tariq ali's book, "street fighting years", has a few pages about indonesia.

i wish for every mullah/mullan in indonesia to be put before a revolutionary-people's firing squad... it is then that indonesia will have moved back onto steps of true progress.

i only gave a outline but @Indos and @madokafc can fill in the blanks.
