Selfie Addiction Might Be a Real ‘Mental Illness’

Two psychologists have shown that selfie-addicts might have a real mental disorder .  HERE ARE THE SIX Factors: 

  • need for self-confidence,
  • attention seeking,
  • mood modification,
  • environmental enhancement,
  • subjective conformity or
  • social competition

How do you score on this  “Selfitis Behavior Scale,” or SBS,  which level do you see yourself?

  • Borderline – Taking selfies at least three times a day, but not necessarily posting them on social media
  • Acute – Taking selfies at least three times a day and posting every one of them on social media
  • Chronic – Uncontrollable selfies cannot resist the urge to point their phone at their face and post on social media more than six times per day
