The Types of Selfies

Teenagers' lives, nowadays, revolve around what their image should be in the social media. That's why, the struggle is certainly real in achieving that Instagram-worthy selfie. See if you can relate to these types of selfies because you either saw a friend post one or they tried it for themselves.

The Candid Selfies

What makes candid selfies, or stolen selfies, unique is that they somehow show the true personality of a person. Candid selfies are usually taken in the middle of doing something and the most popular candid selfie, I suppose, is taken while the person is in the middle of laughing... or so it might be. Recent candid selfies are not anymore "candid" because they become scripted already. Teenagers try to capture selfies as though they are laughing but in reality, they aren't. Nonetheless, it still looks cute and it adds that wow-effect, right?

The "I Woke Up Like This" Selfies

This type of selfie is taken as soon as a person wakes up, as the name says. But the thing here is that, I get to see these selfies which don't look like they just woke up. They actually look completely fine and fresh! Well, I guess that that's the point of these selfies -- that they want to share how fresh they look upon waking up.

The Hide-Your-Pimple-Using-A-Peace-Sign Selfies

Pimples can get really hassle, especially when you're having a good hair day, meaning that you're in that perfect mood to take a selfie. Since one's image in social media must not be ruined by a single pimple, teenagers usually use the peace sign while taking a selfie to cover up the part og the face where the pimple lies. Talk about being resourceful here.

The "At The Moment" Selfies

In social media, since one has to keep on updating about what;s happening in his life every time, taking a selfie of what you're doing at the moment is already considered as a norm. If you just want to share what you're currently having for breakfast, or how watching the sunset with someone you love feels magical, don't think twice on posting it on your Instagram and write, "At the moment." as its caption.

Found yourself guilty, huh? Oh, the things you do for those Instagram-worthy shots. But what's important here is to just have fun and be your wackier self while taking selfies!
