Background: Clicking selfie and sharing in social media is increasing day by day as an obsessive compulsive desire, which needs urgent attention. Objectives: To know the pattern of selfie taking and sharing of selfie in social networking sites and to correlate of selfie taking with self-esteem. Study area: Colleges of one university in India. A predesigned and pretested online questionnaire consisting of demographic characteristics, selfie related questions and Rosenberg self-esteem scale was used to collect data. Data were analyzed by using SPSS v20. Results: Among 595 participants, 23.1% of the students clicked selfies daily. The places where selfies clicked were public places (47.1%) followed by home (23.4%) and college (19.5%). Boredom (24.4%) was the main reason to click selfies. Negative mental health issues were seen among 56% of the participants like unhappiness, sadness, feeling worthless, depressed etc, when they didn't receive enough likes or comments in shared selfies. Among the students, 17.6% had selfitis and 20% had low self-esteem. No relation was seen between selfitis and low self-esteem. Conclusion: Counselling emphasizing on self-motivation and self-control on unnecessary use of social media, giving quality time to family and friends may be initiated as intervention method.
