Ever made a selfie and thought: "Well, that's not good either"? Then you're not that crazy. Research has shown that other people think the same about your selfies. More generally actually. Not just yours, that would be very annoying.

No one is as good as you

There is a good reason that many dating sites advise you not to place a selfie as a profile photo. It would give the feeling that the subject of that photo, in this case you, is quite self-righteous and arrogant. That is again because you handle the camera yourself. This way you come across as someone who only finds something good when he has done it himself. No one is good enough to take that picture of you, because they will ruin it again. Apparently these studies don't take into account the fact that it's quite possible that you simply don't have any friends ...

In the Washington study State University shows that even with photos of similar experiences, such as vacations, there is a positive response to photos taken of a person by someone else. But negative on a selfie at the same location.

According to the researchers, the positive experience comes with "normal" photos because it looks natural. This is how other people are seen. A selfie looks like you've made an effort for that. It could just be that you spent hours in the make-up before that unknown old Spaniard put you on the sensitive plate. Yet that sounds better than the selfie that you made. Life is cruel.

Let me take a selfie

The question is of course: do you agree? Do you immediately get negative feelings when you see a selfie come by on Instagram or do you want to be cold? After all, you don't have to commit to what scientists have researched and found. Fuck the system!

Should you be attracted to this now? Then we have a big tip! Put your phone on a wall, bench or old woman who has fallen asleep and switch on the timer. This is how you make a selfie without taking a selfie. Reasonably easy not solved?
