I am not comfortable posting a selfie. I suffer from selfie-anxiety, but I am trying to step out of my comfort zone.
According to an article called “There’s A Scientific Reason for Why You Look Weird In Selfies” in Time magazine, the reasoning for the discomfort is as follows: “We are used to identifying with our faces as they would appear in a mirror, but when we take a selfie, the camera captures our faces as strangers would see us from head on rather than we would see ourselves in a reflection. Emotionally unprepared to see our unsymmetrical faces tilting in a slightly different way, we sometimes approach selfies with confusion and disdain.”
