📜 History of No Selfies Day

Selfie addiction has been related to harmful psychological behavior. According to research, a woman spends over 104 minutes every week attempting to shoot the ideal selfie! Selfies have become a cultural phenomenon because they express a fundamental human need to be noticed, valued, and acknowledged. People take selfies and publish them to social media for likes and comments in order to keep up with the trends. Selfies may be further modified with lighting, filters, effects, and other features. As a result, individuals become confused between someone’s online presence and their real life, leading to an increase in the incidences of body dysmorphia.
