The selfie has become one of the modern phenomena that have spread recently and have become greatly enlarged in the past few years, the popularity of selfie photography has increased on social networking sites, and most people have taken private scenes for themselves and posted them, and this is usually a normal thing, but when it turns into an obsession and recurring behavior on Throughout the day, it is different. I was drawn to a study published by a research center, which says that one of the most prevalent words on social networking sites is the word selfie. Which made me read, research, and write about it because it is an important phenomenon for many people. I found many studies that talked about the phenomenon, as it is a narcissistic phenomenon that is prevalent in most Internet users at all.
It seems that focusing on this is inevitable in an era that has become dominated by the generation (I), and that the obsession with self-talk has clearly led, thanks to the Internet, to self-promotion through social media, to the spread of the idea of “selfie” with its various negative and positive aspects. The selfie is just one of many phenomena that fall under social narcissism, which many specialists and
researchers have talked about. The one who pushes his owner to be haughty and arrogant, because it often pushes a person to focus on caring for himself only, as it makes him lazy in knowing the news of others, knowing their conditions, and caring for them.
Self-love and the person taking pictures of himself in public and private places and against famous and obscure people, is a negative phenomenon, and it is a kind of psychological disorder, where a person takes many pictures of himself several times a day and puts them on the Internet, through social media and the desire to obtain the admiration of others Appearance, adventurism, and the need to prove oneself, bragging about oneself, and imitating others, in these cases can express a psychological disorder called “narcissism.”
It is a psychological disorder characterized by a person's self-love and his feeling of superiority and arrogance because of his need for the admiration of others. Psychologists believe that this phenomenon is an indication of an addiction that results from compensating for the lack of love and admiration for others. saying.
Psychologists also see this phenomenon as that the problem stems from the fear of exceeding the limits of reason and addiction, as the danger of such addiction is that the matter reaches a chronic state in front of the unbridled desire of the person to photograph himself around the clock and share pictures on social sites, which may reach several times a day and continuously, which may be associated with a form of pathological narcissism. The biggest problem is that the person with a pathological narcissistic personality does not realize that he is sick and needs treatment and change, even though he notices the estrangement of others and their distance from him, because the reason for this is their behavior and not his.
The positive side of a selfie
On the other hand, we can interpret this behavior as positive, healthy behavior that reflects the happy feelings and wonderful moments experienced by the individual, in addition to positive self-love and attention to appearance and grooming in an unexaggerated manner. The self-portrait
is an attempt added to human attempts to find the best ways to
support and love himself. After he used to write his name on the walls and doors of homes, record his voice and keep videos of his important moments, he continues to take his pictures endlessly and document all his moments and special occasions with all pleasure, he does not explain As selfish or individualistic, it is a continuous art that depicts daily life, and a kind of social communication.
From the point of view of researchers in psychology, I think that the selfie may be interpreted as an expression of a person’s self and his point of view, as well as an increase in the person’s self-confidence by standing in front of the camera and expressing his feelings and talking about himself. Every time, in any style, and in multiple moments, and the era of the beautiful picture may have already ended, the important thing is to document the beautiful moment.
The selfie phenomenon may have a positive feature in sharing many lonely and lonely feelings and images with others, and they have a share of encouragement in that. The selfie may contribute to improving the person’s idea of his appearance and appearance, so he feels more psychological
satisfaction and self-love, but it can be understood as a dangerous psychological phenomenon if the target becomes Including taking pictures recklessly and increasing self-admiration, and can contribute to granting the individual many psychological advantages if exercised in non-permanent moderation.
