 Are we becoming selfie obsessed ?

Everywhere you go, people are taking selfies. I was in the Mall of Asia and saw Rizks by the fountain taking a selfie.

 A 21-YEAR-OLD Russian woman shot herself in the head when she tried to take a selfie with a pellet gun pointed at her temple, Moscow police report. 

 When trying to take the selfie in her office on Thursday, she pulled the trigger of an air gun left behind by a security guard.

She survived the accident, but was hospitalized.

Also on Thursday, a Russian man nearly lost his life while trying to take a selfie while climbing an arched bridge in central Moscow.

The man plunged to the ground and hit the asphalt, but also managed to survive despite having suffered several injuries.

So! Are you a selfie junkie? If so, WHY ?

My honest opinion is that people who are obsessed taking selfie have a low self esteem and full of insecurities. This is the reason why they would want to put themselves in the limelight in every possible opportunity there is. Cheers everyone...

It's quite a problem not to be self-centered. When you talk about the universe you talk from your point of view as if you were the center. And physically you are right; everything is around you. It's hard to stand next to you and watch the world from within another man's shoes.
