Selfie is narcissism, using gadget in every moment and place that they think important to memorize. However, over selfie is habitual taking pictures of their own self in every activity, then they share in social media. Usually they do selfie using front or behind camera. There are some causes from doing over selfie. The first is to decrease someone inner beauty (the beauty that comes from inside of their own self), and the second is will make friendship trouble.

Not all people like doing selfie because sometimes selfie makes someone get a negative comment from another. For example, the picture which they shared in social media do not get many good comments. When someone gets a bad comment from other people, maybe they will just keep silent, but some of them feel disturbed. From this case, it will become a quarrel in social media. Some people who have a friendship may probably become an enemy. So, selfie can destroy a friendship.
