These
individuals tend to be confused or have a mixed feeling about developing close
relationships. They worry about getting hurt after getting close to others. The
dilemma pops up, when the person has the desire to have an emotionally-close
relationship, but he feels uncomfortable with the emotional closeness. Such
people find it hard to trust the intentions of their partners. They suppress
and hide their feelings as well. The crux is that a relational scheme is formed
regarding each pattern of interaction occurring regularly between partners.
That scheme includes information about yourself, information about the partner,
and information about the way the interaction usually unfolds. According to
research and studies on this by behavioral psychologists, the anxious,
preoccupied style in adults tallies with the anxious or ambivalent style in
children. On the other hand, the dismissive and fearful avoidant attachment
styles distinctly observed in adults equate with a single style in children.

in different relationships. Can Selfie Addiction be Considered as a Mental
Illness? This is a selfie generation! Everyone is fond of taking selfies, and

Internet Addiction Advertisement . A Zymbiotix picture taken
of oneself by oneself, with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media]
was declared as '2013 word of the year' by Oxford Dictionaries. The year 2014
was named as the 'Year of the Selfie' on Twitter. Selfies have become a
cultural trend. Right from celebrities and presidents, to common people,
everyone has this craze. Selfie's furor has gushed even in the entertainment
world and there is an American series named 'Selfie', and an album of the same
name. So much so, there are institutes that have started offering the selfie
course, in which they teach the art of perfecting self portraiture. Is it just
a fad, or does this have dangers involved? Let me take a Selfie!!! Be it
celebrities flaunting their grand lifestyles, or normal people capturing
moments and sharing on social networking sites, selfies are more than a trend!
Visited a new place, take a selfie. Mesmerized with a five star loo? Grab a
selfie! Getting bugged? Needless to say, selfie is on its way. In fact, did you
just take a shower? Perfect time to click a selfie and post it on your
bookmarked site! We may laugh at our friends posting their pictures with pouts
every hour, changing their DPs abruptly, or glower over our favorite
celebrities being obsessed with clicking selfies, but the recent research
linking selfies to mental disorder can't be neglected. On a serious note,
something that started with just a click has deeper, severe problems if
ascertained. How does my Selfie look? Psychologists are of the opinion that a
mere habit of taking pictures of self till the 'picture perfect' moment may be
a sign of narcissism.
These overly self-obsessed social media addicts are in a
perpetual need of appreciation. They may be depressed, anxious, suffering from
loneliness, or self-loving individuals who quest for attention to fill in the
emotional void in their lives created by the prolonged exposure to social
media. Feeling the need to get noticed and appreciated is human tendency.
Capturing a selfie in a certain pose, at a certain place, is one of the easiest
ways to gain attention. The hidden caption behind such selfies is, "Please
recognize me, my looks, my talent, admire the way I spend my life. And, if you
won't, I would find a better place to share them." Studies have also
linked selfie addiction to low esteem. A Boston-based psychologist opined that
taking a lot of selfies gives an indication of low confidence in that person.
Another psychologist from London said that this is not just an addiction, but a
symptom of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Research done by VoucherCloud app
revealed that around 60% of youngsters (regular selfie-takers) have a feeling
of low esteem behind their smile. Selfie Addiction in News Danny Bowman, a
19-year-old teen, supposing-ly Britain's first selfie addict, has been in the
news for a while. His selfie addiction made him spend 10 hours a day, clicking
up to 200 pictures on his smartphone. Danny said his urge to get a perfect
selfie made him suicidal. He lost his friends; he was thrown off his school; he
lost his health, all 'cause of this addiction. The only thing he cared about
was looking perfect, which made him lose 2 stones, eventually to get a perfect
snap. He was sensitive to criticism, and felt miserable if he'd get negative
comments about his body or picture, making him take more number of selfies.
Doctors opined that this is a severe case of OCD and body dysmorphic disorder, in
which the patient feels a lot of anxiety regarding his appearance.
Danny's been
treated, and is there to help people suffering from the same trauma. But this
was an extremely difficult phase of his life. Danny's father said, "There
is a huge lack of understanding about the dangers social networking and mobile
technology can pose if a young person already has any insecurities - which most
do." David Veal (a consultant psychiatrist who was dealing with Danny's
case) told The Sunday Mirror, "Two out of three of all the patients who
come to see me with body dysmorphic disorder since the rise of camera phones
have a compulsion to repeatedly take selfies." Another research by the
Ohio State University says, men who take and share a lot of selfies on sites like
Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, possess psychopathic traits like lack of
empathy. There was also a buzz that the APA (American Psychiatric Association)
has waved a confirming flag to selfies causing mental illness. And that they
have named this disorder as selfitis, which has three stages: borderline
selfitis (clicking pictures of oneself at least thrice, but not posting on
social media), acute selfitis (taking selfies at least thrice a day and posting
all on networking sites), and chronic selfitis (an uncontrollable urge to click
selfies and post them). However, this was found to be a hoax, but it definitely
has its set of after-effects. Selfie Addiction Help People habitual to clicking
selfies is actually a cry for help. Psychologists have suggested a way: to
maintain a selfie journal. All you have to do is note down everything that's on
your mind when you're about to take a selfie. Analyze if this is a way to
satisfy your need for social recognition, or is it a way to deal with mood
swings and anxiety.
If you feel you're on your way to getting addicted, please
take a pause. Talk to someone you know. Consult a psychologist or a counselor.
