Selfie gives the opportunity to showing personal emotions and getting new, public broadcasting their sub personalities, images or alter – ego, their inner world creative potential.
By swearing and comments personality can improve self-esteem, enhance his own self cognition, develop and adjust his own image, analyze the images of the other, communicate, find new acquaintances. But selfie can become the reason of uncertainty, the possibility of being rejected and unaccepted, that can hurt «I».
