I have a couple of friends who do this at least every couple of weeks. I often wonder if it's just for all the compliments? I just roll my eyes and scroll on by.

No, I am not comfortable with pics of myself. I have a few FB friends that only post pics if they are in them (selfies or otherwise). ETA - Besides, my arms are too short to take good selfies.

I rarely take "selfies", I always seem to catch myself at such an unflattering angle! But I do change my profile pic about every three months usually having something to do with a season-related activity. I get bored with the same pic much longer than that.

NO! I have few photos of myself on Facebook. I see it in mostly younger people, but it's not overkill. I have a friend who frequently changes her profile picture to ones she has already posted. I'm not going to keep liking her photos!

Well I guess if the definition of "all the time" is "every couple weeks", then I guess the answer is yes. I post selfies every few weeks, depending on the situation, where I am and what I'm doing. I don't do it for the compliments, I do it to document that moment in time.
When you said "all the time" I was thinking more along the lines of daily or every couple days. Every couple weeks doesn't seem all that frequent.

No, but I have a high school girlfriend that does it frequently. That in itself doesn't bother me, but she always takes her picture from a downward angle, and you can see in the picture her arms outstretched to the sky to hold her phone. I'm like, "get a selfie stick, woman!" LOL! She's divorced and on the prowl, so I think she likes the angle for best views, I assume.

Like, literally all the time? No, but if I take a picture that I think makes me look hawt I'll post it, sit back and wait for the compliments.

I do but it's rarely of just me. It's usually me with the boys out somewhere. I bought a selfie stick to record my weighloss but the pictures are for me - I rarely post those on FB>

I might change my profile picture 3-5 times a year. However, I just changed it twice within a 2 week period - once because I was having fun with a nail gun while redoing the kitchen floor and the second time because I got a new "do" and had about 4 inches cut off my hair. Now, I'm wondering if all of my friends are thinking I'm some kind of narcissist, so thanks for that...

No way! Any time I've tried taking a selfie it looks dumb. I do have a friend that literally daily posts a selfie from the downward angle and she usually has on a tank top with lots of cleavage showing or a bikini. Don't get me wrong...she's gorgeous but I've noticed over the years that not many comment anymore because I think they are tired of seeing basically the same pose all the time.

My friend is 64 and she looks nice for her age. She posted a pic of herself this week, last week a different one. She will post other pictures of things she and her DH are doing together but more often it's just a pic of her.
To me it screams look at me. She also comments on each picture she posts to keep it current. But like I said, I scroll on by most of the time.
I just wondered if others do this.

No I'm a grown up. By selfie I'm assuming you mean a close up, head and shoulders shot,probably pouting

One selfie every couple of weeks doesn't seem like a lot to me - like if I'm at an event or doing something. I don't just post random bathroom selfies or whatever. I live alone, I travel alone a lot - so I probably take more selfies than somebody who travels or lives with others. I don't know. Now if you mean those 'come hither, look at me, it's a good make up day, arms held over my head so my face looks skinny and you can see my cleavage' shot? No, I don't post those. Ever I have a few friends that do these that drive me CRAZY - one is selling Unique and one is selling something new (to me) Lipsence or something like that? So they post a TON of selfies on IG and FB showing off their 'product.'

I never do but my son posts selfies maybe every 2 weeks or so. I download them and print them up to scrap them.

No, maybe once a month. They aren't the come hither, look at how hot I am selfies (because that is not me) But ones of me with dh, one of the kids doing something interesting (or at least interesting to me).
I don't think of every couple weeks as "all the time" though. I have a few friends who are single and carefree that post them every couple days and that's a lot. But, these are real friends and I click like or comment to be supportive...and they are gorgeous. :-)

I never post selfies. When all your selfies are in a car, I have to wonder do you not go out with friends, are you that in love with yourself, why do we need to see your head in the same pose multiple times - are you hiding your body? I'd rather see and outfit, scenery or friends.
I hate the bathroom selfies. Give your phone to someone outside the bathroom to take your pic!

I've only posted one selfie. I was playing around w/ my camera and took a selfie of me and the dog. I thought it was pretty good of both of us, so I posted it.
I have a couple of friends who post a lot of selfies. It doesn't bother me at all that they do. I think that one of the fun things about Facebook is all the different ways that people like to use it.

Rarely.. I just did one recently as I got a new hair cut. I'm not on quite as much anymore. I do have lots of friends and family that do. One person that is notorious for it though.

Not super often. If I'm out doing something fun with someone, I'll post one of us and occasionally my profile picture is one and I probably change it every few months. I don't mind selfies, but do find myself rolling my eyes when they're posted nearly daily.

I don't post selfies of just myself often. Rarely actually. I will post if my DD is in them with me. We like to take selfies, we're weird that way. I still don't post them often. It's mostly photos of Harley the hurricane Malinois puppy :-D

I like changing my profile picture but hate that you can't do it without posting it to everyone's newsfeed. I change it every couple of months in hopes that I might actually get one where I don't look like a goober. I'm not looking for ANY comments period but it happens anyway.

I change my profile picture quite a bit, but it's never with a selfie. I usually have a family photo or my kids and spouse. I don't like photos with me in them.

I've never taken a selfie ~ well, I did once and it looked so horrible I deleted it instantly. And the way young girls do that fish-mouth thing just grosses me out!
