I can’t remember EVER taking a “selfie” - am I alone in this?

I've taken one. Last summer, I climbed to the summit of Mt. Whitney (elev 14,494 I believe) with a couple of young whippersnapper co-workers. Brutal hike. So I attempted taking a selfie at the top.

Later, when I got home and checked my photos, all I found was a picture of the clouds!

Turns out I did it wrong, and didn't aim the phone in the right direction.

Yes, I'm an idiot. Haha! Now I'll have to climb Whitney again to do it right.

Probably not. The last selfie I took was with Silk and Diamond in Cleveland. I am a selective selfie taker because I never like the way I look in close up phone pictures. It’s as self serving as that.

I have a ID picture taken the only time I turned on my laptops camera. Does that count?

I’ve taken exactly one...of the top of my head to show my mom the color that cost me double what I was quoted before hand. I had just called her for encouragement before I told my husband how much I spent (tip money from my job). My face wasn’t in it at all.

I have a dumbed-down, flip phone that has all superfluous functions disabled, except make/receive calls. Never even thought about taking one of those idiot things, either.

You are not alone. A disgusting scene isn’t it?

I took one, once.

It's my "Heck you all" pose.

Couldn’t take one if I wanted to... never had a cell phone, never will.

Not only have I never taken a selfie, but I’ve never even sent a text. Still have a flip phone, which I use exclusively for (rare) phone conversations.

My Mother took the first selfie ever, that I know of. About 60 years ago, my mother tried to take a photo with my “brownie?” camera of me doing doing or showing something.

She aimed the camera by looking into the lens and out of the viewfinder, and snapped a “selfie” of her looking down at the camera.

YOU are not alone. It’s more than likely YOU don’t remember doing so,because, like you, there are many of us who have NEVER done so. And we never plan to do so. A selfie is just another form of masturbation.
