Do you take selfies, just for yourself?
Do you ever take selfies just to keep for yourself?
Historically I’ve had pretty low self esteem and when I was in college and my 20s I’d take a lot of selfies with the intention of posting and being seen.
My self esteem is higher now in my 30s, but I also just don’t use social media like that anymore— I deleted my IG, Facebook, etc. most of my posting is art or text based these days. I stopped taking selfies for a while just because it seemed pointless.
But recently I’ve started taking selfies again just for me, I don’t intend to show them to anyone, I’m just liking how my face looked that day. Not every day or anything but sometimes! I still have a lot of things I don’t like about my own face but sometimes taking pictures of it helps me feel better about myself for some reason.
Do you take selfies just for you? Does it help your self esteem or hurt? Do you like your own face?
That's kind of a weird question to me, though I get it.
You know what? I totally used to take selfies all the time for that boost, then got over it.

Yeah, sometimes. Helps me remember all the good stuff about myself.
Caught this on my second scroll and it still hits.
Feels like we're celebrating nothing here, gotta keep it real.
That's kinda deep, man. Do you ever just want to see how those filters work?
