Anyone else stop taking selfies?
I started really putting effort into pulling back from social media when lent started, and I’ve noticed many changes in myself since then. For example, my feelings on selfies (my own) are changing.
I used to take some every now and then to show my outfit, makeup, artwork, etc. However, I’m not doing that nearly as much. In fact, I’ve only taken two in the past few months, and they were for work.
Today, I did my makeup and loved my look. I thought I’d take a selfie, which I did, but I noticed it felt weird. I thought “why am I doing this?” And “this is fucking stupid” lol. I really only finished taking it because it’s the “normal” I’m used to. I didn’t know how to handle those new feelings on it.
For the record, I’m not against others taking selfies. You do you, boo. But I am leaning into this newfound feeling about mine, and it’s making me feel even more private. I love that and I really value my privacy more than I used to. Anyway, has anyone else experienced this?
