Instagram users who post more selfies are 'almost uniformly' perceived as less likeable and more insecure, a new study suggests.

Published Thursday, August 22, 2019 9:05AM EDTThat’s the message from researchers in the U.S. who concluded that Instagram users who post a lot of selfies are “almost uniformly” perceived as less likeable and more insecure, compared to Instagrammers who share posed photos taken by someone else., analyzed hundreds of Instagram posts to determine which ones generated snap judgments about a user’s personality.

Barry worked with WSU psychology students and researchers from the University of Southern Mississippi to analyze Instagram posts and personality questionnaires from two groups of students. Those who posted more selfies were rated more negatively than those whose feeds included more “posies.”

I take a lot of travel photos but try to keep the selfies to a minimum. I think most folks would rather see a sunset in Hawaii - such as this one at Napili_Kai, than to look at my face.

Paging any Kardashian!

I've been saying that. And we do not need to see what you look like everyday especially if we dont work wid yuh. I think its annoying and A LOT OF DUDES be on this selfie wave looking for more hot air for their ego

You don’t say?

No shit! I always said that only two types of people get off looking at their own image, narcissists and people with low self-esteem. Pretty much the same type of people who cover their bodies with tattoos.

This also just in: The elements that make up the water in the above picture are two hydrogens and one oxygen.

Yep I’ve always said selfies are for those who have low self esteem

To be or to have the apperance to be. In truth I tell you interior beauty is as superficial as exterior beauty for only God , or life, gives Love. Our mind and spirits are our souls, or body consciousness is our spiritual body. In Hell the flames are thus scred purifying ones.

CTVAtlantic How many more Bad Selfies is Climate Barbie going to post?

Or... I didn’t have someone to take my picture ?

Well duh...

It's a narcissistic society

Selfies on Facebook act as a way of sharing photos, a diary and a photo album for me. Others have choice to view or not. Seem to get a lot of likes.

CTVAtlantic Hahaha, after four yearsmof selfie king Trudeau, we didn't need a study to tell us that. Lol

The Selfie King! 🤮

Study has been done before.

Cool? Can y’all acknowledge the fires in the Amazon though... we don’t need trash articles like this one

It Narcissistic. Period.

I see nothing wrong with people sharing their photos if it makes them happy. I am not an attractive young person, and have no need to do it but I have been inspired to go hike a trail or see a place because of other people’s sharing. If you think insecurity it’s on you.
