Narcissism

Many selfie-haters will frequently argue that selfies promote narcissism. However, Syme doesn’t think this argument can stand. Ovid wrote that Narcissus fell in love with himself and “closed the loop” preventing anyone but himself to observe or comment on his appearance or reflection. But, selfies don’t “exist in a vacuum”. They are most often shared with mass amounts of people who are able to openly critique it.
