On BBC Breakfast there was an item about the most popular new word of the past year - the 'winner' was selfie. Although the word has been around for a while now it has come into more popular use over the last year, often on the back of Tweeted selfies from celebs.
I'll confess, I hate having my picture taken. I run like crazy if I see a camera and if I really have to be in the photo I try to make sure I'm standing behind someone and usually trying to duck behind their back! So it will come as no surprise that I've never taken a selfie.
I can't see the attraction. Maybe if I was photogenic like some of the celebs than I might take selfies at the drop of a hat. Maybe if I lived a thrilling life and had lots to share the I might take selfies. Maybe if I was in an exotic location or standing next to Johnny Depp then I might take selfies. None of these things apply so I've never succumbed to the lure of the selfie.
Am I missing something? More importantly, is the world missing anything by not being included in my life?
Or should I just join in?
