Do you roll your eyes at adults who take selfies?

Just that...

@amusedbush

Nope, I want to see my friends' selfies on social media. It usually means they were happy with their appearance at that moment and I'm always down to celebrate that!

Same!

I definitely don't eye roll at others feeling confident and being happy with how they look.

In front of a landmark, no.
Walking along, pulling stupid faces? Yes.

What are they for, though? Really why do people do it?

There is a woman I went to school with who posts heavily filtered selfies constantly, people comment saying "wow" "you look amazing" but she looks absolutely nothing like that in real life, it's ridiculous! She also filters her small children

Yes. Worst was in a cocktail bar where we were waiting to get served but couldn’t get near the bar as the group of women in front had to take x billion pouting selfies with their cocktails.

Attention

Depends on context. Standing in front of the Pantheon or Eiffel Tower or a pretty sunset and taking a selfie, taking a selfie with friends / DC / partner because you want to capture a good time you're having, knock yourself out.

Pouting and preening just for the sake of it, yes I would roll my eyes.

@Gearedtoyou

I've done about 3 in my life and they're all awful. I quite admire people who can do it well, but I would raise an eyebrow at people doing them often, just of themselves. Most I see are of groups of people

This is me!!!! I’ve tried, but I always ‘look like my true self but worse’ whereas my daughter always ‘looks like her true self but better’ How do they do it??

I'm often alone so I take a few. Not many and usually for a purpose (to send to long distance partner or to ask a friend what they think of my new hair/top/to show where I am if out and about.
I'm a professional in my late 30s. But no harm done surely?

I roll my eyes at constant speakerphone voice calls and FaceTimes in public cafes. Just speak in the phone normally! I don't want to hear a shouty conversation!
Not quite what you asked but I generally find it's the selfie types that do it.

Yes, I try to see it as a legitimate art form so I'm less annoyed, but it's the opposite of art.

Yes. Anyone who feels they need to take a photograph of themselves has a vanity problem.

I take selfie's regularly with people I love. Just to capture a moment in time they we are together, especially under recent times. I rarely post them and only really share with the person I took them with.

Yes. I was sat behind a woman on the train recently who took selfies all the way from Ipswich to London. I found it fascinating but also a little bit creepy!

Do you object to people taking selfies or posting them on social media?

Do you mean adults who 'take' them or adults who take them and post them on social media?

Either way, no I don't roll my eyes. I think it's great when someone loves how they look and are confident enough to take photos.

Especially women because we seem to be hardest on ourselves when it comes to how we look.

And no, I don't tend to take them and post on SM

I don't roll my eyes at anything. There are things I judge, but they tend to be regarding massive immorality. I like people getting on with their days however they see fit.

Yes I do.

People weren’t taking close-up photos of their own faces looking sultry before social media as far as I’m aware. It’s for attention and it’s usually either narcissistic (look at me!) or desperate (validate me!).

I do find it weird when some running acquaintances take a selfie on every run. I usually have my phone so might take a picture of something on the way but not of me. For example last week I was in London and went for a run along the Thames so I took a picture of the London Eye.

Anyway I look really awful on selfies!

Oh yes

@notacooldad

Not usually but when my friend is taking so many it interrupts the flow of our night I get really pissed off with them. She is 61 and forever saying ' me and you together, take one of me peeping from around this corner' ' take one of me looking....confused, sad, happy, thoughtful cute, whatever. She drives me nuts these days. Other people having a quick snap either by themselves or with a friend, no problem!

Christ that would be friendship over for me tbh.

No. None of my business.

Christ that would be friendship over for me tbh

I'm sure I do things that annoy my friends, I'm not perfect so I guess I just roll with this (bloody annoying) habit!🤣
Apart from this she us a great mate and has been for 40 years but ii does wind me up (also videos large segments if gigs)

If someone is older than 19-20 and repeatedly takes selfies it makes me think they are vacuous and attention seeking. No need for it

Not really. I don't seem to know many who do - 100% of my friends are 40s, 50s and 60s. There's one or two who do it quite regularly (I see on FB) but it doesn't irritate me.
