The more selfies less libido?

Recent studies have concluded that people who publish selfies are constantly individuals with problems of self-esteem, safety, emotional and sexual .

Selfies addiction

Much has been said about the fashion of taking selfies , which is not a problem as such for health always and when it does not become an obsession, in this case it is interesting to discover what are the underlying problems that lead people to seek the approval or “like” of others.

The more selfies less libido?

The researcher Dutch Christyntjes Van Gallagher made a study of 800 people considered "addicted to selfies , what he discovered was that 83% of the people interviewed did not have such a fabu life slab as they wanted to represent, they were not so happy and they did not have an active sex life .

According to this study carried out by the Dutch University of Wageningen and titled as "The filming of difficulties and loneliness", the obsession with selfies can be interpreted as a cry for help in the face of obvious sexual abandonment.

In this sense, the researchers of this interesting study affirm:

“Selfie addicts evaluate their level of well-being in the image they build of themselves, using technologies to manipulate the image real that they obtained from themselves and thus be able to sell something that does not exist and they feel, without understanding that life is not a photoshop ”

Problems In the background

The obsession with selfies goes beyond a sexual problem and that is to wait for the approval and praise of e other people involves a problem of self-esteem and security .

The more selfies less libido?

Generally people who upload selfies constantly or regularly to social networks tend to show themselves as happy and satisfied with their image and life but the reality is different, they tend to be insecure people , whose self-esteem depends solely and exclusively on the recognition given by others.

Of course, in teenagers taking selfies constantly tends to be considered a more normal behavior , since it is the need to define oneself as a person and draw attention to the place, the logical thing is that as the person mature This behavior changes and decreases, however, it is a matter of concern when they are adults who make e This is a regular habit.

The Thai mental health department specialist, Panpimol Wipulakorn , explains:

“Pay too much attention to the photographs published, controlling who looks at them or who likes them or who comments , hoping to achieve as much as possible of 'likes' is a symptom that 'selfies' are causing a problem ”

Uploading selfies is not a problem as such in health , but from the moment it becomes somewhat constant and obsessive it can represent a much more serious background complications than can be associated with an activity as harmless as this.

And what do you think, Do you agree with the conclusions of this study?
