Guys/Girls: What is your real opinion on..
Replies

As a teenager its normal to get all happy if a girl wants you to selfie more. Its a boost to your self esteem, its part of the process. Its silly, but its how it is.
If a mature adult is seriously asking for more selfies, id say grow up. I of course do take them occasionally, its part of todays society. And for people that are achieving life changing goals of progress its awesome too. But to just be part of the look at me movement....and it not be a joke....no thanks. And i wouldnt date a woman that is part of that either. I workout practically every single day of my life, i dont think once i ever stopped to take a selfie. Its just not why i do it. I dont condemn those that do, to each their own....but i dont hang around with too many selfie taking kind of people.
I used to be that way but I’ve come around to the dark side. I love seeing people’s faces, especially when they aren’t people i can ever see in person. Makes them more human ❤️
I get that.....i had that feeling when you selfied a little while ago. I may be slightly hypocritical here.....slightly.....
There’s always a fear that people will perceive your selfie as you just trying to get attention or validation so sometimes i ask for selfies to eliminate that fear too
I get it though, selfies are a polarizing thing
I’m like you. I love seeing people’s selfies, pics of their random every day moments. I don’t need to see their every move or every meal but I like pics. And I love getting to know people on all different levels. I was the kid in middle school with a camera on an all the time basis. I think they’re fun. And if someone thinks badly of me for taking and posting them....I don’t care. I used to hate myself in many ways. And it would have bothered me if people thought badly of me for that (but I never took pics. And I deleted 99% of pics with me in them). But, now it’s just for fun. And probably because, even though I have a ton of work to do still, I don’t hate the way I look anymore. There are a few parts I hate but not in a self loathing way. In a “I’m gonna fix it or learn to live with it kind of way.” To each their own... compliments are nice but it’s not about attention or validation in the sense that it’s gonna make or break me. Also.....if you go to a “selfie thread” or even someone’s Instagram or something, what would one expect to see there?😂

I was (and still am, really) very camera shy. I’m not an overly photogenic person so to take a selfie of my face that I actually like is way more effort than its worth. But I’ve always been the one glaring at the camera person (usually my sister) or making an annoyed face in a candid shot. Posing for pics felt deeply fake and uncomfortable, i was always that one laughing nervously with my teeth gritted. Finally my sister said to me “HEIDI. Someday you’re going to die and it’ll look like we didn’t love you because we’ll have NO pictures of you at your funeral. And we’ll have no pictures of you to look back on when we miss you, now get over yourself.”
So i’m coming around.7 -

That’s great! I’ve been told by a couple people around here that I’ve inspired them to take more and post more. And I think that’s pretty cool. I hate smiling for pics cuz it feels fake. And I don’t like the way I look usually. And....I know I’m not the only one to say “thank you Heidi’s sisters cuz your sis is a hottie and beautiful”.
PS.....I plan on not having a funeral and also I need to have someone destroy my phone for me when I die. And also the Cloud. I think I need the Cloud destroyed. And probably my email address as well. My family still won’t have pics of me. I’ll direct my kids to mfp if it still exists and they want to see pics of me.2 -

He would have left his mark on rock music like very few others.
I recently purchased a rare Japanese pressing of this vinyl masterpiece; it's stellar in every regard.
Came back in time to quote your post to say - Elton John is crazy cool talented!0 -
If I post a selfie... I never really know why I do so, outside of the fact that I was just compelled to... I try to just do and detach from the consequences...
This morning I was inside my head about it a bit, for whatever reason... But I'm not going to try to psychosis why I do it... I just do 🤷🏽♂️4 -

I have someone in my life who made me feel so bad when I posted selfies or if they saw me take one they'd say "you know, people who selfie are mentality unstable in the head" and for a while I refused to take pictures of myself. I think one of the reasons why I post selfies is a way of me telling this person "*kitten* you". I am slowly getting out of that mentality that there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a picture and if I share one its because I want to. Because I feel good. Because I can. Because idgaf.
Sometimes I feel like these threads are my very own personal therapists 🤣4 -

Personal Takeaway: your whole family is witty! 🤗
Also, I get you with the pic reticence.1 -

I used to give a lot of *kitten*. I did waxing and then laser hair removal on everything that had the slightest bit of pigment
Which isn’t perfect, and unless you have real black hair it isn’t going to get you hair-free (and maybe not even then?)
But now i feel more indifferent. I can have that luxury because of all the hair removal in the past that I’m still enjoying the benefits of i suppose, but shaving every day sucks and it makes my legs itchy and irritated. And I don’t understand the science behind this but if i’m wearing leggings over freshly shaved legs and then try to scratch the itchy spots through my leggings, it leaves a bruise. Whaaat tha *kitten*3 -

we talkin a little stubble here, or full time sweaters? I only shave my face about once a week, so I can't argue with a little stubble. It isn't the most comforting thing to feel, but I also know if you're allowing me to feel that then you must be pretty comfortable with me so it balances. I think I'd be hesitant to rub a pair of really hairy legs.3 -

In and out is fast food heaven. They have 2 burgers on the menu, a single and a double. Its quick, clean, not grease laden and just basic burgers, add ketchup, mustard, mayo etc.. and the fries are slammin.1 -
So I have salads just about everyday for dinner but I ain't gonna lie...
A bacon western cheese burger from Carl's Jr is pretty damn delicious once in a few blue moons 🤷🏽♂️2 -
