#Selfietherapy

I will tell you why it has been
so important for me to take selfies.

I have a theory that there are
two types of people in the world,

those who have always taken
selfies and for them it is very natural,

and those of us who never took selfies

and that makes us a lot of
shame just thinking about it.

I am very sorry

that so many people are not
comfortable in front of a camera

and that affects both
themselves and even their projects,

that by not being
able to take pictures,

they cannot use this strong
letter that we have small projects

which is to connect
from person to person.

The objective of this unit
is to reconcile with our image

and that we can connect
so much with other people

how to recognize ourselves

First of all, I will tell you
what we will need in this course.

The only thing that is
really necessary is the mobile,

but I wanted to tell you
three things that may be useful,

although the only thing we
really need is the mobile.

The first thing is an
object that I always love to use,

which is a reflector

It is an object that reflects light.

it bounces light back and forth.

Then we will see how to use it.

I normally use this type of material,

which is called foam board here

and which in other places is
called "foam" or "foam board",

but anything white will do.

If you can't find this,

sticking white cardboard to a
normal cardboard, it works the same.

The second, which is quite useful

when you're taking self
portraits, it's a tripod.

In the Additional
Resources I will give you advice

to choose tripods
if you want to buy one

and for other materials
that we will use in the course

They are not necessary, but
in case you want to buy it.

For a mobile tripod, I do not
recommend that it be anything super expensive,

because a mobile
does not weigh anything

and the only important thing is
that you have a mobile adapter.

We don't even have to
buy it with the adapter.

We can buy a cheap medium-high tripod

and buy a separate adapter.

The last tool that can be quite useful

are these triggers

that connect via Bluetooth to the
mobile and when clicked, it takes the photo.

They are very comfortable

Although I will show you a
thousand options not to use it,

because in my day
to day I always forget

and I end up pulling other things.

let's go to the mess

and let's start by talking about
why we don't usually take pictures.

I don't know if, like me, you
think that you are antiphotogenic

or that you always look bad in the
photos or you think that you are horrible.

I have told myself all

so don't worry because it's the
most normal thing in the world.

I want to explain what
are the two main reasons

Why is this happening to us?

so that you realize
that you are not alone

and that we also
didn't turn out so badly.

"Spoiler", both are
the fault of our brain

comparing the person in the photo
with the person you are imagining.

The first reason is so absurd

like we're not exactly
the person in the mirror.

The person we see every day

It's not what the
rest of the world sees.

Why is this happening? Because
the mirror turns you upside down.

If you have a mole on
this side of your face,

you see it here

If you part your hair
on one side of your head,

it's on the other side.

Or if you have one eye
more droopy than the other,

it comes out on the other side.

How does this effect affect us?

That when we see
ourselves in a photo we look weird,

like strange, it's
like wrong, this is not me.

It is because the image of the photo

it does not fit our
memory of ourselves.

Instead, the rest of the
world always sees you like this

because you really are.

When we take a group photo,

It always happens that
everyone sees themselves badly,

but he sees the rest as
great, they turned out super well.

The rest are used to
seeing you like this.

This also affects us
when we take a selfie,

because many times when we
do it we don't look so bad,

and when you look at the photo
in the gallery, suddenly you say:

"Why do I come out so horrible?",
suddenly it doesn't add up to you anymore.

It is that when you take the
photo you see yourself as a mirror,

but then many mobile
phones turn it around

so you can see
yourself as you really are.

I recommend that to get
acquainted with ourselves

and this roll of the mirror
is to change it from the mobile.

Many mobiles in camera settings

they allow you to change
that setting to flip it.

It is usually called Keep
Mirror Effect or Images as Preview.

It changes from mobile to mobile.

If your mobile does not have that
configuration, nothing happens either,

because almost all mobiles
have, when you are in the Gallery,

the option to edit the
photo to crop or rotate it.

Within that option
there is always one to flip.

when we take a selfie

We enter, we turn it
around and we will see it normal.

The second big reason
why we look bad in photos

is that we have an
idealized image of ourselves.

I explain.

They say we are our own worst critics.

It literally is.

We're overanalyzing ourselves all day

as if we were a scientist,
and we look at every detail

making a mental list of
how everything has to be.

That we do.

We are in the
morning combing or shaving

or combing our
eyebrows, and we mentally stay

with how every
detail has to be perfect.

What is the problem?

Those details don't last
like that for 30 minutes.

Our body is super-changeable and
there are days when we have more redness,

sometimes we are more
inflamed, sometimes less,

and that never stays
exactly as we had registered it.

What is the good?
That only we look at it.

I don't know if it happened to you

what are you watching an
instagrammer talk for a while

and suddenly he says: "Forgive
me for this pimple that I have",

and you hadn't even noticed
that, only he was aware of that grain.

When we see ourselves in a
photo, we look at all those details,

we do an examination of the hair,
the eyebrow, the mustache, the makeup,

and if something is not
perfect as we wanted it,

We already believe
that we did not go well.

What happens is that you do not
have a real image of how you are,

and this is what we want to change.

If I had to say why taking
selfies is so important to me,

I would say for two things:

for ourselves, for what we speak,

and also for something else
that is very important to me

and that I have been talking about it
a lot with people on social networks,

and it is that when we
do not go out in photos,

we are disappearing
from our own history.

We erase ourselves from
the memories that we keep.

I have like ten years of history in
which I do not have photos of myself

and I have removed myself completely.

On social networks,
they have sent me messages

that I have stayed dead,

in which they told me: "My
mother never wanted to take pictures

because she didn't want to
go out, she looked horrible,

So I took the
camera to take the photos,

but she never went out

And now that she's gone, we
miss being able to remember her."

I think: "My God."

If I already knew it was important,
it seems even more important to me.

Thanks to realizing that,
now they will take pictures

so that the same thing does not
happen to your family and loved ones.

Besides, from what
we were talking about,

knowing what we know
makes a lot of sense

take a lot of selfies, a
lot of photos of ourselves,

to, on the one hand,
familiarize ourselves with our real image,

and, on the other hand, to
dismantle the idealized image that we had.

I recommend you do selfie
therapy almost every day,

even if it's secretly.

As for connecting with more people,

even if you have a
small project on Instagram

or if you have a personal profile,
it is important to connect with people.

If not, why do you have networks?

The best way to reach
people is basically this.

The attraction that humans
have for faces is so brutal

that when we are babies the
first thing we recognize are faces.

Babies are like the mobile camera,
which when you open it only recognizes faces.

Thus, they only see faces.

If networks are important to you,

is that there are studies that show
that the photos in which people appear

they have 40% more
interaction than the others.

I have verified it.

Every time I upload one of mine

has double or triple the
"likes" and comments than another.

When I go out myself or
when we go out ourselves,

we are encouraging the conversation.

I don't know if you
know when you see photos

from someone's desk you
don't feel like writing to him,

but when you see him, you
automatically start a conversation,

like "look how cool that looks on you".

When you start that
conversation, you both start talking,

and that positions you well in the
algorithm, so a marvel on all sides.

In short, touch makes love,

and that the people
who arrive as strangers,

after a while seeing
you will become known

and after a while it
will generate a link.

Finally, I wanted to
highlight one last thing

that it's important to me that
you possibly don't give a damn,

but that I needed to reflect,

and it is that the more
people we go out in networks

and the more people we
show ourselves as we are,

we will accustom the rest of the
world to seeing different people,

that we really are like that

and not only the very beautiful people,
who are the ones who take the most photos.

We would be helping to make
networks more diverse and more inclusive,

and that is wonderful.

Although I remain "coach" this,

If I can get away with the acne
breakouts that appear every two by three,

you can leave any

Now that we've seen why
taking selfies is so important,

now I will teach you a
little more to know yourselves.
