3 Girls, 1 Guy and Your Problems

Your Problem: I find myself obsessively looking through pictures of myself on facebook... Sometimes i'm drunk or high, sometimes it's late at night and other times it's in the morning when I get out of the shower. Am I just living in the past? Am I extremely narcissistic? Is this my fault or Facebook's?

Our opinions:

Amy: Yes. It's yours and Facebook's fault. By signing up for an account you have to accept the inevitable narcissistic tendencies that the site encourages. But you have to consider, are you worth obsessing over?

Maxon: The fact that you look at pictures of yourself without engaging in acts of self-deprecation most likely indicate that you are "well balanced" (whatever that means) or that you may be narcissistic. Ultimately this is only cause for worry if you or someone who's close to you feels that it is interfering with your life in a negative way.

Aly: Facebook definitely fuels ego-centrism and narcissism in the sense that it puts our lives in a visual and digital format for us to hash over... over and over. Try going a while without your Facebook? Try telling yourself, "hell yeah, that's a good prof pic!" and then calling it quits? Try getting rid of all your worldly possessions and hiking to Alaska?

Megan: I have a personal theory about facebook. Simply by having a facebook we are all creepers! I don't know of anyone who doesn't at least occasionally flip through facebook photos. By having a facebook, you are not only saying that you creep on other people's facebook updates and photos, but you are also giving the facebook world permission to creep on you. While yes, you probably should be mindful of the amount of time you spend "creeping" on facebook, you should also know that you are not alone in this problem.
