Instagram selfies not just for narcissists, researchers say

According to Australian researchers, not everyone who opens their self-portrait on Instagram does this for vanity.

Dr. Toni Eagar and Dr. Stephen Dann of the Australian National University of Business Economics studied 5,000 random self-portraits taken within 10 days.

They discovered that 75% of self-portrait was taken by women, and because they made viewers or became "celebrities", only one tenth of their self-portrait was published it was done.

"Most people do not try to become the next Kim Kardashian, they only talk to someone they already know," Eagle said.

Dr. Eagar said that the most common type of selfie is a picture of communication with people close friends and family.

These "autobiographical" images account for 35% of the surveyed images and record every aspect of life, from daily life to wedding ceremonies and other special opportunities.

This is the most common type of self-portrait, with only 6% of images belonging to this category.

Dr. Eger said that self-portrait is the most common type of narcissism and vanity.

"They get a lot of duck's face and you get the most flattery angle," she said.

Dr. Eger said that these posts also have audience tags like "likeforlike" and "followforfollow".

However, according to their research, only one tenth of self-portrait is used to raise personal image and physical appeal.

"In the actual participation of this trend, the same proportion of people actually enjoyed this trend," Dr. Ega said.

This may seem obvious, but Dr. Eger said that the romantic category is the second most common type for people regardless of the presence of important people.

"Because you have your Romcom, we call this romance, everyone is together, and you will have your tragic romance," she said.

As with self portrait, self-service images are used to enhance people's knowledge in the field of beauty, fitness and cooking.

Dr. Eger said this self-portrait was defined by a creative or "high art" approach to photography, centered on image processing.

In general, she also talks about self-shooting of Instagram not only self-loveism but also sharing of experience with online and social groups.

"Self-timers are no different from other forms of communication people use in history, that's just new ways of doing new things and things," she said.

"I must say the acceptance criteria for social media, people criticize the self-love of photograph-like photography if the female Instagram's profile is filled with 400 attractive selfies It is not possible to expose 400 selfies, but constantly opening the pictures of that particular pose is not a type of style or self-love, it is a kind of narcissism. "" When a woman is raped Even if you lie, everyone is definitely standing by her. You? "This is more scary for men than women - at least people accept female words . "

In this type of game-based self-portrait culture, almost everyone you encounter is narcissist. The number of people suffering from many self-love is increasing, but they may not be narcissists. Thank God, true narcissism is rare. I am not an expert on mental health, but there is one thing I know. It is to update their "friends" about their belly states lurking in mutually dependent shadows. Attached to narcissist are the views of Esel against Lucy, what Arnie has for Bart, and cheese is macaroni. Narcissists thrive in control and rule, and rely on lovers to give up their power. If you like, this is a "anti" spiritual health paradise game. If you are constantly attracting narcissists themselves, the time may come when you think about why they are not so attractive
