UHM Houston We have a problem!!!!
"A Psychiatric Study Reveals Selfies Are Far More Dangerous Than You Think Image Credit: AP
According to psychiatrist Dr. David Veal, seflies are more dangerous than you think ... far more dangerous.
"Two out of three of all the patients who come to see me with Body Dysmorphic Disorder since the rise of camera phones have a compulsion to repeatedly take selfies.
"Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to help a patient to recognise the reasons for his or her compulsive behaviour and then to learn how to moderate it," he told the Sunday Mirror.
Veal points to an extreme case, patient Danny Bowman, who allegedly spent up to 10 hours a day taking hundreds of selfies in a futile attempt to capture the perfect photo. He stopped attending school, lost "two stone" (around 28 pounds), stayed in his house for six months and fought with his parents. Eventually he tried to commit suicide.
"Danny's case is particularly extreme," said Veal. "But this is a serious problem. It's not a vanity issue. It's a mental health one which has an extremely high suicide rate."
Bowman was treated for OCD, technology addiction and Body Dysmorphic Disorder — a chronic mental health condition in which the sufferer obsesses over perceived flaws with their body.
Dr. Veal told the Sunday Mirror that "The common treatment is where a patient gradually learns to go for longer periods of time without satisfying the urge to take a photograph, along with therapy to address the root cause of the problem."
"This can be anything from low self esteem to problems with bullying in the past."
This is real: According to TIME, psychiatrists are beginning to consider a compulsion to take selfies "as a serious mental health problem."
A study titled "Tagger's Delight? Disclosure and liking behaviour in Facebook: the effects of sharing photographs amongst multiple known social circles" from three business schools in Europe found that people who post more selfies have more shallow relationships with people. Professors asked 508 Facebook users with an average age of 24 to rank how close they felt to friends, coworkers and relatives who also happened to be on the site. Then, they compared that data to the number of selfies the test subjects had posted.
The conclusion? "Increased frequency of sharing photographs of the self, regardless of the type of target sharing the photographs, is related to a decrease in intimacy" in personal relationships, wrote the authors.
According to Birmingham Business School professor and lead author Dr. David Houghton, "People, other than very close friends and relatives, don't seem to relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves. It's worth remembering that the information we post to our 'friends' on Facebook, actually gets viewed by lots of different categories of people: partners; friends; family; colleagues and acquaintances; and each group seems to take a different view of the information shared."
So, seflies: narcissistic and correlated with a decrease in the intimacy of personal relationships. But dangerous seems like a stretch. Maybe the self-absorbed take more selfies, or those with fewer intimate relationships post them as a way of attracting attention. In cases like Bowman's, obsessive selfie-taking can be a symptom of pre-existing issues with self-esteem or more serious psychological disorders. And writes San Jose Mercury-News' Jessica Yadegaran, "psychologists say that in moderation, selfies are a feel-good and often creative way, particularly for teens, to chronicle their lives and emotions and express their personalities."
Clinical psychologist Lucie Hemmen says that "There's a continuum of health and authenticity in what you shoot and post. A secure, mature person is going to post selfies that are spontaneous and not overly engineered or edited, and they're going to do it less often. A more insecure person is going to post staged or sexualized photos, and they're going to do it so much that they become consumed by it and the comments they receive."

Many humans have addictive personalities. Most climbers fit in that category. The point becomes trying to have good addictions and make your life and those you touch better.
This thread, the Enjoy life, make up a lie...and well most threads, put a smile on my face.

On the other hand, Fish Flounder, go stick your head in an ice hole.
I've had an addictive mean streak since birth.

not sure why I have a great reticence for selfies... some residual protestant inhibition?
here's one I shot in Canada on the West Ridge of Mt. Saskatchewan
and one in Yosemite
try to focus on all those things you have to put aside when you go out climbing... you have an opportunity to do those now, life's about making those choices, and taking advantage of the circumstances

Such great advice Ed. Really it is!
It's hard to do much when you can't walk. I am however catching up on all kinds of family time and reading. I understand your comment was direct toward Annita but is resinated with me.
Funny how when I am out climbing on the regular and in abundance I often think on the drive to the mountains tired and half stressed by the effort it takes to get out as frequently as I do. The other half stoked and excited for the days ahead how much of this do I really need to do. How many rock faces, ice flows and mountains need I summit to get my fill, how important is this obsession really in the grand scheme of things vrs how important do I tell myself it is. I would give it all up in a heartbeat for those I love and that love me to make their lives better if it would. As I often do think it would help if I had more time and resources to offer those I love. Clearly if it was not for my obsession with the mountains I would have much more time for others and resources to share with them. FYI I have no wife or children but that does not mean I don't have people that care for me desire my time or could use my help in a myriad of ways. Still though his compulsion pulls me back to the mountains time and time again.
Funny thing is after just two three days back home I forget all about that train of thought and NEED to escape to the mountains for the fresh air, quiet and piece my soul so longs for. In reality I really have less say over the subject than I would like to think I do...
