I think "selfie" is pretty much my most-hated word at the moment. I am tired of seeing them in my Facebook feed and tired of seeing celebrity ones on Good Morning America and the like.
I can't say I've ever been compelled to take a true "selfie." I guess one time I wanted to show my new haircut to my mom and sister (sent via text...not broadcasted on social media).
I totally understand traveling and sightseeing and wanting your picture taken with something famous in the background...and not having someone else available to take your photo. But what I don't understand is a person's desire to take lots of pictures of themselves and blast them all over social media. I think social media has made some people very self centered. The way I see it, if I see something cool I want to take a picture of, I don't see how the picture would be at all improved by me putting my own mug in front of it before snapping the picture.
Or...another example...I have a mom friend who posts 6-8 "selfies" of her and her baby each day. I love seeing baby pictures...but she puts her own face next to her baby's in every.single.one.

Yes...it's her "right" to do this, I know I can block her...I'm just using this as an example to show how I just don't understand this selfie craze.
What are your thoughts?
