We’re all guilty of taking random selfies: of our new hairstyle, our chic nails, our night on the town, or a brand new outfit that fits us perfectly.
Sharing these photos is a great way to express how good we feel about ourselves or (let’s be honest) to brag about the unique experiences we’ve had. But how far is too far?
Well, for some of you, selfies aren’t just about showing others where you are or what you’ve done; Selfies are your personal “mirror, mirror on the wall” – a narcissistic ego feeding machine.
It’s painfully obvious to the rest of us that the primary goal of every selfie you post is to attract as much attention from social media as possible.

You’re hungry (to desperate levels) for those thirsty likes and comments. It’s almost like an addiction…to yourself!
You think you’ve come across something cool and interesting, but in fact, the rest of us are rolling our eyes at you, wondering if your name is on a personality disorder label.
So, what exactly am I talking about?
Here are the 12 most ridiculous selfies that make you look like a narcissist (and you should stop posting on social media).
No seriously. Stop.
- Pet selfies
Yes, your pet is very cute. We got along the first few times I posted a picture of Fifi. But documenting your pet’s every move has to stop.
Don’t think we haven’t noticed that when you take a lot of “Fifi and I” photos, you’re obviously waking him up from his nap, nagging him when he’s eating, or picking him up when he doesn’t like it. Can be touched.
Whether your pet wants the camera flash in his cute face or not doesn’t really matter to you as long as you look good.
- Trying too hard to take sexy selfies
These selfies include (but are not limited to): the duck face, tight clothing, a face that looks like this when you wake up, and of course the “accidental” cleavage shot.
We all know, “Hey everyone, look at my new necklace!” It is just an excuse to bring your breasts together and show your lips to attract attention. The Kardashian-Jenner family might make it work (maybe), but it’s not going so well for you.
- Gym selfies
Flex, baby, flex! JK, please don’t.
You’ve just had a great workout, you’re covered in sweat, and 100% ready to take a selfie in the gym mirror (where anyone in the immediate distance can see you). Maybe you’re trying to make us all feel bad because you’re in good shape — but at least we don’t look like a complete tool.
Obviously, you are already looking at yourself in the mirror to admire yourself. Do you really need to share that in a selfie too?
- Toilet selfies
So…this is your idea of the perfect place to take a selfie? You’re doing your job but you look really good at doing it?
The bathroom stall walls protect this view from others for a reason. Don’t violate these boundaries by showing us a toilet selfie! What then? Take a picture of your BM in the bowl?

- Fake sleep selfies
Yes, your “boyfriend” actually took a picture of you while you were sleeping… if those really are your feet. Taking a photo with your feet shows off some serious foot skills, but nothing that screams, “I love—no, I need—attention!” More than pretending to be asleep and filming yourself.
You should probably make sure there is no mirror reflection in your photo as well. Didn’t think about that, did you?
- Driving selfies
You have to be an adrenaline junkie to be able to take a selfie while your car is moving. And hey, screw other people’s safety, right? You really only need one hand on the wheel. Eyes on you, not on the road.
While you are there, do not stop at stop lights or yield to pedestrians or oncoming traffic either. At the end of the day, who cares about the law? As long as you have “likes” from people you don’t even know, it’s all good.
And if you get into an accident, at least you look good doing it (and you might even be able to take a selfie with the wreckage!).
- Selfies in prison
Or should I say cells? Showing up with money in your prisoner’s jumpsuits is the latest trend in prison fashion – and if you don’t know you’re too late.
Even Wiz Khalifa is getting on board with the trend, posting a prison selfie for the world to see (check out the video above to see for yourself).
- Selfies in the hospital
It doesn’t matter why you are in the hospital; You might as well work in this dress even though you’ve been up all night in pain, styling your hair and applying makeup is a must. You don’t want to scare your followers into clicking “unfollow.”
