According to the researchers, individuals suffering from selfitis use selfies to try to boost their confidence or their mood, along with other motivations like conforming and social competition. The researchers say that taking selfies can be an addictive behavior that also points to more underlying mental health issues, like low self-confidence.

Can we get parking the cart on one side of the grocery store aisle and shopping on the other thus blocking the entire ailse declared a mental illness? It is rude behavior that bothers me and that seems to be all that is needed to be so declared.

My brother and I, both in our mid to late 60s, joke that there was just crappy 8mm film and standard def video when we were young and looked good, but now with high def video and still cameras, we look like h*#l. No selfies for us.

Checked it out on Amazon. Great looking book, but...

Published in 2002, only 120 pages and 10x12 inches...$38.51(!)

I was lucky to find it at our library book sale in town. Great coffee table book. :)

So, giving yourself a “selfie” is now a mental disorder? (Guy and gals all over the world would disagree).

Well, at least it’s not as bad as liberalism.
