Selfies have become a global phenomenon since the rise of smartphones and social media. The selfie was first taken in 1839 but became widespread with the introduction of front-facing cameras on phones in the early 2000s. India has seen the most selfie-related deaths as people engage in risky behavior to take dramatic photos. Psychologists note selfies fulfill peoples' needs for attention, social comparison, and self-confidence. However, an obsessive need to post frequent selfies may be a sign of the mental condition called "Selfitis." Guidelines recommend avoiding selfies in inappropriate situations like funerals, accidents, or lectures.
