What is the big deal people taking selfies posing and flexing in front of a mirror when they are at the gym?

Honestly. Narcissism, Validation, Draw attention, Get many LIKES as possible to feel so darn important or other reason?

In my personal opinion I found it stupid. Work out for yourself do it for yourself not for the public and strangers to see it in y our social media feeds. If you want to take photos, take them but keep it in your mobile in private but post it publickly makes it more dumb me me and me!! You want to see the progress? Ok, take pictures and store them in your mobile, but why the heck to post them in public.

I heard gym selfies must be some sort of psychological problem. Here are 2 articles about it.

Why are we obsessed with our looks and why do we need to post those annoying looking pics all most everywhere we can think of? WWHHHYYYY? How does observing your image or sending your selfies to your friends or family boost your EGO?

"In any case, to feel good about your body or yourself, you do not need pictures at the end of the day. Stop taking gym selfie now".

I guess, they are proud of showing what they have achieved in terms of body goals. Every body tells a story. But, when you see someone with a good physique you know deep inside the discipline and amount of dedication it took them to reach their goals.

But why to make it public? aren't they satisfied to see their success in private or progress. Why they care what ther people think?

Why would anyone hide their achievement or even trophy?

[kitty71]

I will why not?

[kitty71]

It is my achievement not anyone elses

[Starwitch23]

Well, people are engrossed about themselves. They just think for few seconds. They don't have time to think about someone's post day and night. at least, not normal people

[Starwitch23]

Yeah, it's not wrong to flaunt your achievement. It is completely your decision

They know it can't last so they want to capture that one unique moment in life where they had the drive to sculpt their bodies.

Well, why do you think?


It seems obvious enough.


Because people like how they look and want positive attention from those to where they are showing these pictures through

If a man look real fit, the first question you should ask is how long was you in prison

It is a kind of narcism, but usually very innocent. But easy to get in contact, because a simple compliment about their muscles is a start.
