T.O.
Many a study has concluded that social media sites (Facebook et al) are a magnet for narcissists and the insecure.

Taking the odd selfie to show people you are somewhere interesting, OK. I take like one a month, maybe a few more on vacation. Taking selfies daily and expecting people to care is probably pretty narcissistic. And yeah, social media sites like Facebook and tumblr are no doubt magnets.

Let me give you an insight on Narcissism. Narcissism commences in young children and is purely natural. Its a need of attention as part of their development .
If that attention is overwhelm by obsessive attention, or on the opposite scale underwhelmed with abuse you create a void, in the progression of the child into adulthood.
In other words the child never has a chance to find his own way, by means of independently finding the the truth. And if the abuse becomes so violent, that's where you create the sociopaths.
The one ingredient that's missing in their chemistry, is empathy, of which they have non of !!

I have a female friend who is always looking in the mirror, taking selfies, etc. Possible narcissism but, in her case, more of a lack of self-esteem I think.

Let me give you an insight into Titalian. He doesn't know if his asshole is punched, bored or clawed out by wildcats. He just thinks he knows.

Like Titalian, I would think that would be a characteristic of narcissism. It's only about them in their mind (world), that's it. The minute you say something critical about her in any way, and I don't mean anything vile or downright mean, she says "you're being negative, I can't do this (talk), etc,etc.

And also your handle !
You really ARE a boob, aren't you.

Do continue, eventually, possibly you may actually stumble upon some REAL insight. In much the same way a 1000 monkeys may eventually reproduce Hamlet. Your efforts, while fruitless, will be most entertaining.
