Recently I've felt weird posting pictures of myself on Instagram and I've never felt this feeling before.

For the last 10 years of my life, I've been posting pictures of myself on the internet.

Non-stop, okay, non-stop, and I've never thought anything of it.

Posting photos of ourselves online

is a part of being human at this point.

It's become an instinct almost and it's so incredibly normal and I think most of us aren't

even questioning why we do it,

because it's just so normal.

And up until recently, I didn't question it either.

But the last few times I've gone to post a photo of myself

on Instagram, I've felt weird.

I've felt like a narcissist and it's scared me a little bit. I've been finding myself

taking a pause before I post a picture of myself, feeling almost uncertain of whether or not it's the right thing

to do.

And this is bizarre to me because it just had never crossed my mind before.

It had always been such an automatic thing to do,

especially for me as somebody who considers posting things on the internet as a part of my

job in a way, it's been weird for me to sort of question whether or not it's a

narcissistic behavior and I'm somebody who has a tendency to

overthink. So part of me wonders if I'm overthinking the whole thing, but part of me also thinks there's a chance

that even though we've sort of normalized posting photos of ourselves, it's still

actually a narcissistic kind of behavior.
