A psychological reason behind selfie is that it allows us to look at ourselves in the way we want the world to look at us. We want the perfect selfie to match our perception of what we think we look like. Sometimes people take a selfie just to hide their true emotions and show to the world that they are happy which is a matter of great concern because they might be facing serious anxiety or depression problems or taking selfie might be an addiction for people to forget and enjoy the present moment in lieu of capturing it in a selfie for the future.

Taking a selfie has even turned fatal for many. Trying to click a selfie at dangerous locations like on a bridge, terrace, near a river or on the road with heavy traffic for fun and adventure has cost many people their lives. So taking selfies is fun and cool but one should be cautious and aware of his surroundings.

Every time you step out of your house you are going to find somebody or the other taking a selfie and this selfie culture is only going to rise so be ready with your perfect selfie to become a trendsetter!
