Selfies.
2
Sick of the word yet?
3
Yes.
4
People share millions of them every day on social media.
5
In fact, one -third of all photos young people take are selfies, but what do they say about self -esteem?
6
How many selfies do you take a day, honestly?
7
Honestly?
8
I'm not ashamed.
9
I take about between 150 and 200 a day.
10
I would have to say at least, like, 700.
11
You take 700 selfies a day?
12
Listen, I have to make sure I get the right angle.
13
Sometimes, you know, everything doesn't translate well on camera, but then to turn around and see, like, oh, my God, my teeth look great, my eyebrows match, this is great.
14
Selfies are a phenomenon, an avalanche, if you will, gaining momentum with each arm extension.
15
The world seems obsessed with taking selfies and posting them online.
16
According to Samsung, selfies will account for almost one -third of all photos taken this year by people between the ages of 25 and 33.
17
But it's not just younger adults.
18
40 -year -old Ayanna Frank is a mother of three.
19
Her family is tired of her selfie habits.
20
They have coined the phrase that I'm the queen of selfies.
21
I don't think I am, but that's what they say.
22
Do I really like myself?
23
I think everybody should.
24
Sometimes it's just fun and it's okay, and then other times I think it might be the person seeking validation from outside.
25
SHE SAYS TOO MANY SELFIES MAY BE AN EXPRESSION OF SOMEONE'S SELF -ESTEAM ISSUES.
26
MAYBE THEY DON'T FEEL GOOD ENOUGH.
27
SOME YOUNG PEOPLE WHO POST SELFIES ARE LIKELY SEEKING ATTENTION, POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND SOCIAL VALIDATION.
28
AND PRATT SAYS THEY MAY BE RELYING TOO MUCH ON THE RESPONSE OF OTHERS.
29
PRATT SAYS THE SELFIE INDULGENCE MAY BE LIKE A DRUG.
30
POSTING SELFIES AND GETTING 300 LIKES,
31
THAT'S NOT REALLY GOING TO LAST FOR YOU because you really didn't do anything to earn it.
32
Psychologist Dr. Romney Durvasala says if more than 50 % of your photos are selfies and you're using filters frequently, those are red flags.
33
More and more studies are showing this.
34
More time spent on social media sites negatively affects people's self -esteem.
35
That can make a person less able to cope, more likely to have anxiety, depression, that sort of thing.
36
The best way to deal with a selfie obsession?
37
Pratt says, put this away.
38
Go outside.
39
Talk to people.
40
Have real relationships.
41
The old -fashioned ways of doing that are to have relationships with people in the community and friends and co -workers.
42
Pratt says if this is a big source of your socializing
43
or if posting online pictures of yourself and obsessing over others' photos is taking up a lot of your time, it's a problem.
44
Or maybe it's just kind of showing off and for some people wanting to make people jealous or, you know, and then that says something about that person
45
that they maybe really don't feel good about themselves deep down and they need that, you know, kind of publicity, I guess, or feedback.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
