Selfie: A picture taken by you of yourself. These pics are an unusual situation where the photographer is the main (and only) thing in the picture. Selfies are edited and perfected until it looks good enough to upload. Most selfies are taken in the hopes that others will think someone else is taking your picture.
You will get caught and that is EMBARRASSING.
Selfies are HUGE in today’s day and age. What fun is it to scroll through your news feed and see selfies of all of your friends? We know what you look like and we know exactly what your motives are. You are fishing for compliments, and all you’re going to catch is some slander or maybe a little bit of self-confidence.
Why you should Never Take a selfie:
1) You are driving and you should be focused on the road. Yes, we know you’re not texting and driving, but this is far WORSE. You have to pose perfectly with your head tilted a little, fix your hair, retake, retake, retake! None of this involves looking at the road.
“Yep that’s going on Facebook”
2) Duck lips. This is ridiculous. ENOUGH said.
“Dang, I am lookin’ GOOD!”
3) You’re at the gym. Hmm, take a selfie? Go ahead and watch everyone look at you funny. If that’s what you need to do to validate yourself, then post away! In the meantime, put your clothes back on the way they are supposed to be.
“12 more reps, 12 more reps”
4) You’re at work with your headset on and you think it’s funny. Yes, we know you are snap-chatting your future ex-wife but how many headset selfies can you take? (cough cough 220 Marketing). The last thing you want is an employer to find your embarrassing selfies on the internet and re post them!
“I hope she will want to go out tonight”
5) Bathroom selfies are the worst… you are in a bathroom! That’s a nice toilet there you’re standing in! What happened to going outside where there’s a nice background? Maybe have your friend take the picture? Maybe get out of the toilet? There are lots of better options.
“Oops, I forgot to take off my socks”
6) Dressing room pics. You don’t need to post a picture in your bikini, butt to the mirror with your 3-year old in the corner. That’s weird.
“Hunny, get out of Mommy’s snapchat”
