The last was the most activity on social media. Just see when we sign in social media, there are many people uploading their own photos. That’s well known with “selfie.”

            Selfie is taking photo with their own self. Then the selfie agent usually uploads it into social media. That activity becomes privacy habit for the agent. Taking and uploading selfie photos is their daily activity. The activity that abundant to leave. My friend said, 

“I love to take photos every where and any where as much as like and upload them on my account.”

Narcissistic with their own camera makes them happy. Taking photo with the style they like. Upload the photo on social media as much as they like. The selfie agent will happier if there many people like their photos and give many good comments. Then they will more taking and uploading their photos on social media.

        Not all people like the activity we love. Just like doing selfie. The selfie agent love to narcissistic with the great style and much photos then upload them on social media. Then user of social media will see the photos. The selfie agent certainly loves their activity, but the other people may not.  Actually there were some people disturbed with their activity.

            Disturbing other? Why not? Actually, on social media the selfie agent usually uploads the photos one until five each day. Is there any people were disturbed with the activity? Certainly, yes! Like another of my friends told me, 

“Absolutely their activity disturbed me. See the photos with the same face, the same nose, and the same people even the same name certainly disturb other people and it makes other people feel bored.”

            Order the selfie agent to stop their activity certainly not easy. Moreover, doing selfie was a habit and a kind of daily activity. A habit that can not leaving easily. Doing selfie was an addiction or even the drug for the agent on social media.

            How can doing selfie be the drug? Yes it can! The selfie agent absolutely felt like an actress. Moreover there were people give a good comment on photos they uploaded. The selfie agent will be excited and exist on social media. Then they will not leave that habit.

            If the selfie agent not uploaded their photos on social media, they will feel lost something. Feel something go away, and flat in they life. Certainly because of selfie was the drug. An addiction which can’t leave and throw away directly. That’s right! Selfie is the drug on social media.
