The Illusion of Perfection: Selfie Addiction as a Mental Health Concern

According to Abhijit Naskar, selfie obsession is a form of  digital vanity. He views selfie obsession and modern self-absorption as a superficial distraction from true living, arguing that life begins where self-obsession ends. He believes that excessive focus on digital validation replaces genuine human connection with empty vanity

Some of his quotes on selfie-obsession which is the part of technology obsession are as follows
  • If you spend every moment of life taking selfies, then that's not called being social, that's called being sick—clinically sick.
  • The purpose of a camera is to capture memories, not replace them.
  • A memory cherished with a loved one is worth more than a billion likes.
  • Phones are neither good nor bad, they are just lifeless machines that were invented to serve humankind, yet humankind, with their everlasting stupidity have turned this communication marvel into psychological suicide
  • While owning technology is fine, becoming owned by it through constant self-hype and validation-seeking turns vanity into a sickness rather than a social act

INSPIRED QUINTETS

Young Naskar, quite wisely he said,
"When tech makes your ego well-fed,
Self-hype, a sad plight,
Turns vanity's light
To sickness, not sharing instead."

When a selfie's snapped with glee,
It's self-love, wild and free.
A proud, loud shout,
"Me, I'm here, no doubt!"
Better than a mirror's decree.

A selfie, a glorious bright flare,
Of self-love beyond all compare.
No mirror can boast,
"You're loved the very most!"
This proud inner glow for fanfare
