A recent study taken at Brunel University drew some interesting conclusions about gym selfies and individual psychology. The study revealed that people who post about:
- Their diet
- Their exercise routine
- Thier curved shapes
- Their pink lips
- and share photos of every latest outfit , is actually a psychological form of self-admiration
With the technological age of instant photo sharing through a number of social media apps like Instagram or Snapchat, researchers found that those who take gym selfies have heightened "narcissistic" character traits.
When it comes to diagnosing narcissistic traits, studies claim that an excessive interest in one's physical appearance is also considered as a craving for self-flattery, admiration, and regular ego boosts that are easily achieved through social media media posts.
Although advocating for a healthy lifestyle is certainly encouraged, narcissists tend to ‘broadcast the effort they put into their physical appearance,’ a lot more so than others.
The DSM-5 also believes that a narcissistic personality concerns oneself with the ‘self-perception of being unique, superior and associated with high-status people.’
Finally we know where the selfie spirit came from
