Is that selfie edited? Why it may matter for women viewers. There's a surprising upside to the fact that many people edit their selfies on Instagram and other social media sites to enhance their appearance. A new study found that when women believed that selfies of thin and sexualized women had been edited, viewing these images had less negative impact on one aspect of their mental health. Source 1c.
Let's be honest, some people aren't photogenic and they inflate that fact by doing a selfie. Selfies are some of the worst ways to take a pic of yourself so if you want to be safe, don't do it. Its far better to get someone to take a pic of you than you trying to do it for yourself.
