Are you belonging
to this generation who loves taking pictures of them? We called it selfie; it
derived from the word itself, which is selfish (not the greedy one). After you
took yourself with many angles, you will upload it faster on Facebook. But
there are no any changes with your face, although you have a lot of pictures.
Then, you’re waiting if your friends will like or give a comment to your
pictures. You will be happier, if your picture becomes trending for a day. And
tomorrow you will repeat it again and again. For you, that’s already an
achievement even if you’re not earning money from it.
Why there are so
many feeling models in Facebook although they are not. They don’t know that
some of their friends become irritable to such attitude. They are treating
Facebook as a mirror that will be seen by many people. There’s nothing wrong to
have self-confidence, but please don’t overacting. Don’t flood the news feed of
your friends with your pictures. Of course, they want to know what’s new with
you, but they are not asking for your selfie picture. As what the writer Lourd
de Veyra said, just suit your actions with your looks. Remember, that many
naughty people in the internet. There’s a possibility that they will use your
picture for their meme.
But if you think
that you’re cool and pretty, just go ahead and do a lot of selfie pictures. You
have a license to do that. This is the reality in our society; if you’re
beautiful, people would accept you immediately. I’m sure they will be happy
including your stalkers and poser out there. Don’t overexposed yourself;
everything excess is not good anymore.
You may say that
what you’re doing is just a self-expression and you’re only going with the
flow. To have selfie pictures is the trend today. Not only to the youth, but
even to kids and adults, but even self-expression has limits. You can’t fully
express yourself in social media. This is considered as a public place where
everyone needs to behave, although you’re not exposing your cleavage and dirty
tongue like what other girls doing to gain a little bit of popularity.
